This means Serena has to play two days in a row.
That's if the schedule holds tomorrow.

And they better stop putting Sabine on court 17, this may make her mad and hit a 130mph serve!

 

[Moxie]

Kiu, Court 17 is still a show court.

Caroline on Arthur Ashe in primetime - great - they know who sells tickets :clap She really gets the Sharapova treatment or what you call it. Errani and Serena are playing the other two women matches on Ashe.

Sabine might get a better court if she actually plays well.

 

[Calvy]

Sabine might get a better court if she actually plays well.

Exactly!

This isn't Wimbledon, and she's not even ranked in the top 15.

Flavia is having her way with her countrywoman. Sara down 2-5 40-0 on Flavia's serve. She's trying to get one of the breaks back. Angie baby and Genie are dueling. Angie just wrapped the opening st 6-4

Why is that funny?

Sara is gone. She will lose SF points and I'm sure this will change the outlook of bottom half of the top 10.

Ah, you beat me to it, K.

This loss also gives Li Na the opportunity to surpass Errani in the rankings, I think.

 

[kskate2]

Genie takes the middle set 6-2. Onto the decider.

 

[kskate2]

I like the fight from Genie in holding off these MP's.

 

[tented]

That's too bad. I was hoping Bouchard would win, but congrats to Kerber.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena needs to clean up that ground game a bit today.

 

[KatrinaMoore]

Christina McHale won today! Hopefully these two wins we help her confidence

Seems like all the Italian Ladies have Sara's number this year.

In the post match interview with Shriver, Serena couldn't remember

how many doubles GS titles She and Venus have. Pam told her it was

14. Then later talking with JMac, Fowler mentioned the incident and

stuck his foot in his mouth and said the answer was 12. Serena should

know but in the moment can be excused. But Pam and Fowler have a

bevy of Statisticians at their beck and call and they can't get it right.

Pam asked the question and she didn't know. But Fowler being snide

and trying to correct her saying " the answer is 12 " was worse when he

got it wrong. He looked like a ........

You know you're having a Hall of Fame career when ... you can't remember how many doubles GSs you've won. It's impossible for me to wrap my mind around having had that level of success.
