I have a feeling it will be Garbine vs. Ebony Smooth in the final

Well the only reason they didn't meet is because of Serena's injury. They did beat the requisite players to get to R4.

I haven’t watched MS play lately. What’s changed? From two FO titles to being crushed in quarters. Has she declined or has the competition improved or both?

Looks like Halep might beat Kerber. Haven’t we seen this movie before at AO 2018?

Not much has changed. Since Hogstedt came back she's serving better, but her ground game looks the same as ever. Hit the ball hard, then harder and then well you know the rest.

Angie receiving an MTO. I don't think she can win this final set if she's not 100%.

Why is Halep as loud as Sharapova it's annoying to watch

I think there is a lot more depth in women's tennis now also. (Compared to when Maria was winning the big ones).

I agree completely. Like I mentioned before, too many young guns who hit the ball as hard or harder and move way better than her.

I wish Serena could have beaten MS by that score. What’s the status of her injury? Is she playing Wimby?

if you have HBO, watch her show. I bet she will mention it there. Also her twitter page may have something about the MRI

I think we all want that, but it really depends on who's in the final. She needs someone who is a worse choker than her. Of all the people left, I don't know who that would apply to. Maybe Keys or Putintseva.
KS..i said this back in January..Halep needs Keys in the Final..that’s the one person I know who can out choke her..so she is most definitely pulling for Madison today
