Sloane vs. Serena: Vol. III

[Beatricegene]

YESSSSSSS SHE GOT THE BREAK!!!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Granted Serena is playing A LOT of tennis (Doubles)... I really wanted Sloane to PAY for what she said about Serena. Oh well... there's always a chance for a bagel in the 2nd set.

I don't know that you will ever see a Sharapova like beatdown of Sloane. Sloane is a better athlete and serves better than Maria. You should be happy if Serena wins in straights.

I think Serena has found her rythmn yet and she had not attached Sloane"s backhand

And let's be honest, too: this is the hardest Serena has had to work thus far this tournament. This is the first time she's really being tested.

Yeah, she being tested. Sloane defense has broken the normal serena rhythm

Exactly. This is good for her. It will help her game from here on out.

Time to put the pedal on the gas now.

Yep! It's on and popping now!!:clap

No, I think like myself, Tented couldn't understand what you were trying to convey.

Serena is finally playing with purpose in her ground game.

I don't think Serena is going to let this match get away from her. I think Sloane will probably be the tighter of the two knowing that she beat Serena this year, and people may be expecting her to do so again. I said the same thing about Vika going into the Open her winning Cincy may have been a double-edged sword as people will expect her to perform now. Serena just has to be Serena.

I predict Serena will get this in straights. I doubt either set will even go to a tiebreak. Probably something like 6-4, 6-2

So close! Oh well ...

 

[Beatricegene]

I've noticed that as of late Serena has been allowing her opponents to shake the hand of the chair umpire first. In the past she would always shake first. Great win Serena!!

Well, I got the 2nd set correct.. Sloane really gonna piss Serena off because she shook the Umpire hand 1st, that a :nono..

I just remarked about the handshake

I know its too early to predict but I will wager my money on the defending champion.This is the match Serena has been waiting for all year long.
I dont understand Sloane s dislike of Serena,even in her interview she said some things that are disturbing.I know its one thing to be childish,but to hold a grudge like this its borderline jealousy on Sloane s part.
I hope Serena beat her like she beat pova......Serena should stop with this praise of this ungrateful girl who doesnt appreciate her..let her get praise from Clijsters her idol.

I think Serena has taken the high road throughout this series of incidents. She has set an example of how to behave and respond appropriately. As a result, I hope she continues to praise Sloane. If nothing else, it will make Serena look better and better, while making Sloane look petty (if Sloane should say something else unkind about Serena, I mean).

just read Sloane interview from last match.She still comes off as bitter and said she is coworkers with Serena who says that ...uzzled

Don't you think what Serena just said about the future of American tennis after the match was the right thing to do? That's the kind of thing I meant in my post.

Well done, Serena.

I really don't think Serena cares about who shakes hands first lol

I noticed it, too. A little awkward, but not a Big Deal.

Actually Serena did not attempt to shake 1st..she gave the honor to Sloane

Actually, Serena let Sloane and her last opponent shake the chairs hand first.
