This looks like Massacre Monday! Already Ana (7) gone and Pliskova (8) gone. JJ and CSN about to go home. Not to mention Maria's (3) withdrawal yesterday.

At this rate we may as well have a Daria vs. Daria final instead of 1st round.

There won't be any seeds left for Serena to play at this rate. Looks like Aga is the only seed to make it through unscathed so far. Venus is looking weary in the 2nd set and could get pushed to 3.

I'm just listening to the match and it sounds like she's tired.:puzzled
What happened with Ana? I think Pliskova played too much leading up...

Ironically, that may be a bad news for Serena.

And Pliskova is gone 6-1 in the 2nd

Pliskova strikes me as another player unwilling (or unable) to play great tennis on the biggest stages. In 4 years of Slam play, she's never gotten past the third round.

Watching and trusting Venus on the court these days was like when my Ex would call me to say, "Honey I spent the day shopping but I didn't spend that much".. leaving me dreading to check my bank balance afterwards:nono

Well a lot of people say luck is involved in winning the Calendar Slam, so maybe we are witnessing some of that luck in progress.

I know... Venus has been like this since 2004 and as one of her biggest fans ...she can be frustrating.I remember that I used to go for a drive just before her matches just to protect my heart...now I am used to her messy play and pretend not to care if she wins or not.:cover

No, I am not talking about Venus in particular here. I am just generally commenting based on the bolded part. The reason is, in general, Serena has more trouble with unsuspecting players with almost no resume, as opposed to seeded and/or well known players.
