I wish Serena applies this same intensity in the finals..

I think it will depend on who she faces should she get to the finals again. It needs to be someone she doesn't like. All the people she lost to recently she likes.

Dfs are now creeping in..

And Chris also made a good point...that Maria has no Plan B.

Never has. Her plan is to press and hit the ball harder.

 

[Moxie]

Tiki Barber in the house! That man is handsome. Haven't seen him in ages.

Agree,Maria in her career only knows one way,she really never added any variety in her overall game,eg volleys and coming to the net.

 

[tossip]

I dont trust this NY crowd...

 

[kskate2]

they will always support Serena over Pova

 

[tossip]

Pova is fighting..

I don't know what to think about her. I didn't quite realize how much her game was built on just ball-bashing and a really, really competitive head.

 

[Moxie]

I dont trust this NY crowd...

Are you serious?! They LOVE Serena here.

 

[Moxie]

What a shot!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shot Serena WOW

 

[kskate2]

She's been this way for years Mox. Same game 18 years later. She's tried to incorporate a dropper, but she doesn't do it successfully enough.

 

[Moxie]

Spike Lee in the house, and out of his chair on that one!

 

[kskate2]

I wish I were there this year to see this R1.

 

[Moxie]

I really don't mean this to be catty, but I have noticed it the last several tournaments: Maria looks rather puffy in the face, and significantly older. Has anyone else noticed that?

 

[Moxie]

There it is...no feel at the net.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena 4-1

 

[kskate2]

Good Lord. She got Maria on her horse.

I haven't noticed that, but now that you've said something....LOL
