I will go with Serena in 3. She still played well today, but she had trouble getting that first serve in at times today. Let's hope the first serve is clicking tomorrow and Serena does it in two.

Serena looked a little tired today. Petra had the day off. I could see Petra maybe getting a set. Serena in 3.

I will say though that one point in her match against Radwanska shows why Serena is a step above the other ladies no one else could have gotten to those shots and kept it in play for so long as Serena did before losing the point.

Serena is not some "no one" she one of the 5 greatest players EVER!

Serena in straights, with great chance to go three.

Maria is NOT playing and it's not funny!
I suggest you delete your last reply...

The last time Williams and Kvitova clashed it was the quarterfinals of the Qatar Total Open in Doha this past February, and not only was there history on the line - Williams would regain the World No.1 ranking if she won that match - but Kvitova was on fire, storming out to a 4-1 lead in the third set.

You're suggestion has been duly noted, but, it was for "My Sherona"

And, regardless of quotes, who was the one that whom won that last match again??

There were lots on line last time around, this time Petra just wants it more. She has been ferocious!
OK, I'll give it to you and Serena, it may go 3 sets. but it'll be Petra me thinks.

I prepared a Turkish Coffee cup and read my fortune after drinking it and turning the cup upside down.
It said bet the house on Petra!

I am off to Vegas.

What exactly makes you know Petra wants it more, Serena is fighting for history, and you act as though Petra has been playing better tennis than Serena recently.

And is that the same Turkish tea that helped u predict Kerber would take Serena to three sets?
