Serena's high percentage first serve was great through out the match.
Keep working Taylor.

For the day, Petra gets the best result, only allowing one game.

First Round is now completed. Down to 64

They call her Ci Ci.

Just a pale imitation of me ;) She must be my fan :D
Nice to see such stories and Domi needed that spanking to wake up

Ci Ci's interview is posted on the US Open Site, and it seems she has a good head on her shoulders for 15. She has a very bright future. Ci Ci and Vicky Duval, (Hope she recovers completely), two stars on the horizon for American Women's Tennis.

Its too early to predict her future,remember Oudin...so far there is no young American that shows GOAT potential..most of them are trying really hard to be sorority sisters.Tennis is an individual sport not team sport like basketball.

This match is like the Emperor showing Dart Vader the dark side of the force.
:emperor:
Taylor, being a lefty, can throw some tricks of her own.

When this match up was announced someone on another board said "this is like black on black crime" OMG I almost fell off my chair laughing. It just came out of nowhere and i was not expecting that comment being likened to a tennis match.

Quote of the day, goes to Ci Ci Bellis:

"You can either believe and lose or believe and win, but if don't believe, you're going to lose anyway."

I saw the start of serens v tt..enough to see the early break, and clearly sw was on it and alert from the start, plus a tt who was not ablaze with youthful endeavour.

Petra always allows only one game, sometimes to herself and sometimes to her opponent :snigger

I saw the Serena's first match completely. This girl is on fire. She is on a mission. If I were
the tournament organizer, I would give her the trophy right away and save some unnecessary
time and money. :cool:
