Rome 2016

I wouldn't give this title to Serena quite yet, Serena has proven to be very unreliable in a final at the moment. Given who she is though, she should take this as long as she plays her game and doesn't think too much out there.

Begu is a good player and I understand why some players lost to her,she has a good serve and returns well.
There is no way Serena will allow herself to coronet another pova or scone.She will demolish Keys,Hogstedt and Eisenbud all in one motion..

I will say that out of all the slams I feel Serena's best shot at laying low is at RG. I think everyone looks at RG as one Serena should win, but if she doesn't ehh. I know she is defending champion, but I feel if she can make the final and given the nature of the WTA and everyone else being suspect she might just get someone who despite nerves she can take out. She just has to work the draw and make the final. Key players like Kerber and Azarenka are very suspect at the moment and everyone else well....I think Azarenka if healthy is looking to make her push this summer. I hope Serena sees it this way and really pushes hard to win RG and make the other slams a bit more relaxing and enjoyable.

I would expect that tomorrow final may be a preview of a few grand slam finals since Pova is banned

pova is nothing without mildew..:snicker..Keys got lucky thats all.I hope I dont have to see her buck teeth behind in any big final...just like Serena used to beat Li Na..pova under Hogstedt,she will beat Keys tomorrow..

Keys is hanging in there with Serena.

 

[kskate2]

Tight set between these two. Some hard hitting, but Serena takes the breaker 7-5

 

[tossip]

she has to relax after this first set...

 

[kskate2]

Danger time for Keys. Already down a break and now BP for Serena to get a 2nd one.

 

[tossip]

Keys constant pacing is annoying...

 

[kskate2]

Serena donates a break back at love

 

[tossip]

Serena is a true star and knows how to charm or rather break the ice..

 

[tossip]

#70...thats more like it girl..

 

[tossip]

Serena taking these kids to school...to me Keys is fake because her heroine is pova.She caters to pova too much for my liking..we all know where her allegiance is...

 

[tossip]

I think Madison Keys needs an orthodontist,a Hollywood orthodontist to be specific...like yesterday....that grill is jacked up...

 

[tossip]

order has been restored...WTA was looking like a headless chicken before this win.

 

[tossip]

the black girl won today!

Santina also righted the ship and won the trophy.

It looks like Santina primarily have trouble against Kristina & Garcia
