Tight! Serena had a set point, now she's in trouble on serve; BREAK! Vika to serve for it!

If my reading of your comment was incorrect I apologize.

You took what I said: Vika came back from 0-3 and you flipped it to sound like the only way Vika could have come back would be if Serena let it go. It's a way of saying everything is on Serena's racquet not the other player doing something right. It's a classic tactic of people on this forum who can't stand anyone but Serena being complimented when talking about a match involving her.

(Note: I am also a huge Serena fan just not a zealot)

I'm not a zealot. I would say that about any player who had a 3-0 lead and lost it no matter what their name was.

Right and I explained that Vika's service level dropped dramatically in her first service game which Serena took full advantage of and raced to an 3-0 lead over Vika. VIKA made up the deficit. SERENA did not "let it go."

That's your opinion as I didn't see how it all unfolded. Regardless of how the games were won, you do agree that in this scenario 3 games were lost by Vika and then 3 games were lost by Serena, correct? So games are won and lost.

Do they not have hawk eye here? That serve at 40-30 looked clearly in.

 

[kskate2]

[kskate2]

[Kieran]

Two double faults at deuce... :laydownlaughing :laydownlaughing

 

[kskate2]

We are heading to a breaker after both players held MP's

So many headcases on the ladies' side! They just don't know how to finish at times! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

 

[kskate2]

Can Vika maintain composure after those MP's?

 

[Kieran]

This match is cooked, stick a fork in it...

 

[kskate2]

Not so fast Kieran. Vika is one tough competitor. She will not go away. Serena will have to earn it

Eh, I don't think so...
