Istanbul Championships Final: Na v. Serena

[Moxie]

Finally the final! Who wins?

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Not sure Serena had to really gut that win out today.

 

[tossip]

Serena 10-1 yay

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena in 3 sets
Serena is still tough to beat....I think she showed that in her match against JJ

 

[Moxie]

I'd love Li Na to get it, but it will be interesting how Serena shows up tomorrow. If she's even at her mostly-best, she'll take it.

Na li is a nice player..Court...but tomorrow its Serena time..:clap

 

[rugged]

This is the last match of the year for Serena and she wants the win. She will be ready and get this done in two sets.

Na in 1 1/2 ...serena quits.

 

[Calvy]

The Queen doesn't quit matches.

Match is about to start.

[Moxie]

I was just coming over here to see if anyone had a start time. Thanks, Kiu!

Hey Serena how about you get that return cranking. Li should not be getting away with a 36% first serve percentage.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Dear god. Li is playing so ridiculously well right now. Serena is helping her with poor play. But she can't do anything about some of Li's shots. They're just too good.

 

[Moxie]

Does Serena look tired or sluggish like yesterday?

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Li Na's double faults may be Serena's only saving grace.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I understand that but Serena even if all else is wrong should be attacking the hell out of that low first serve percentage.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

But Li takes the set anyways. A brilliant set. If Serena can start moving and get into this, I still believe she can win, even if Li's level doesn't drop. But she's gonna have to find some energy soon. She's starting to exert herself now. But she's looked so slow so far.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena better find another gear fast. The good news is she can only go up from here.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Are you kidding me Li had a 30% first serve percentage and Serena got owned in the first set. She should be embarrassed that the first set wasn't tighter.

 

[Calvy]

She's lacking energy obviously, really bad matches happen.
