Serena DF and Collins breaks back,after Serena was down love 40,she saved 2 BPs but could not save the 3rd.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I must say I prefer the full skirt that Serena is wearing today,than the other half skirt she wore previously.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great round the post shot from Collins..........point of the match so far

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Serena DF again and Collins wins a third straight game for a 3-1 lead in the 2nd set

Serena broke the serve of Collins leads 4-3 she is really attacking the 2nd serve of Collins with results
Serena serving well which is an added bonus
Serena consolidates the break and leads 5-3

It’s what I feel has really made the difference in some of these matches she has lost in which she wasn’t really punishing opponent second serves the way she should to create some nerves and opponent doubt.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Collins wins her 4th straight game for a 4-1 lead
Serena needs to stop rushing her shots she is just at times slapping the ball,making error after error.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena needs to add more variety to her serve,Collins is reading them well
Body serve Serena?

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena really let this match get away from her from starting off with a break. Let’s see if she can get this back on track. It’s kind of ridiculous how Serena can go from driver’s seat to passenger real quick.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena holds serve,Collins leads 4-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with a BP.....good movement from Serena,controlled power as well
Serena attacked the 2nd serve of Collins and gets the break back

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me how many racket changes does Collins need

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena winning 3 games in a row
4 games all 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with good variety and has earned 3 BPs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with good return on Collins serve and will serve for the match 5-4 and is 1 game away of reaching Rd 4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with MP.her fav serve down the tee
Serena 64 64 and reaches the 4th rd!
Came back from 2-4 down in the 2nd set

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Glad to see Serena right the ship. This is a good opportunity. It probably works in her favor that nobody is expecting anything from her here vs. say Wimbledon or the US Open.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena may have a good opportunity at Wimbledon as well. Barty and Halep may be questionable because of injuries. Osaka may be questionable as well for Wimbledon. She may at least get seeded higher.
