I have had trouble logging onto Discuss Tennis,my laptop and main computer have been okay with other tennis sites.

I picked Garbine to make the final,I felt the surface suits her game,she has to watch her margins in her match against Madison.Both ladies are big flat hitters of the ball,Madison to me has been the surprise packet of this tournament,though to her credit she has played well and deserves her spot in the s/final.

Serena never let Sveta get into their match,applied soo much pressure from game 1.I have been impressed all tournament with Begu,though I feel Serena has too much power overall.Serena to make the final and she has the chance to make it 4 titles in Rome.

Congratulations Madison who played the 'big points well' and kept her UFE in check and served well,Garbine committed too many DF 8 in total at crucial times in the match.Well done Madison you deserve your place in the final.

10 things to know: Serena v Madison Keys - http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/5570603/title/10-things-to-know-serena-vs-keys

Keys is doing OK against Serena... pushing her at least. Still it would take a brave man to bet against Serena now when she's up 7/6 3-1, but Serena has dropped her guard and gone a little flat.

Serena takes the title 7/6 6/3!
