That has to be the 'shot of the tournament so far' from Serena,a 180 degree turn and a single hand on the racquet with a passing shot down the line....Sabine could not believe it,either could I quite frankly ..;)

OMG Serena....:nono

Being broken 3 times in a set,even your serve can't get you out of this present 'funk' you are in
No good looking at your racquet by the way

Lisicki wins the 2nd set 6-1

Hey Serena, you and Mackie have some work to do on that footwork absolutely terrible at times. Especially heading into clay season, that will need some definite work if you want to improve upon last year's French Open showing.

Serena is the best at playing those tight moments....her mental fortitude is underrated.All they talk about is power power and dont mention her monumental will to win even when she is not at her best.

Maybe not on the broadcasts you listen to, but the commentators in the US talk about her mental strength all the time.

Exactly, they always mention how mentally touch she is, and that is the difference between she and Venus.

Yeah I agree I pretty much hear about that in every match she plays.

No, I don't listen to Kevin Skinner. Today, I was listening to ESPN. Inevitably, commentators talk about how mentally strong Serena is, which is a central component of her success. The championship mentally, as some call it.
