Can Venus survive Bencic?

I would be surprised if Venus survives Bencic,although I will root for Venus and will get an opportunity to see :basiate Hingis

Wow not a bad match scheduled on Ashe I would say. Intriguing match ups for third rounds.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I think Bencic takes out Venus. VENUS Was actually on the verge of losing in both of her previous matches, but won due to experience and will power.

But, that won't be enough this time. Sorry.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Watch out for the Serena match against BMS. This is a booby trap. See my short analysis in the who will upset Serena thread.

 

[Kirijax]

Three good matches tomorrow for me.

Serena, Bencic should win. Rooting for Keys to get revenge for Wimbledon QF loss.

 

[tossip]

My picks are
Serena
Venus
Aga

I say Serena in 2 tight sets. My heart says Venus, but my head knows better. Belinda in 3. Aga will force Madison into errors again. Aga in 3.

Interesting stat - remaining among the 32 players surviving till the 3rd round are world #s 96, 97, 101, 133 and 152.

 

[Kirijax]

Venus just took the first set 6-3 over Bencic! She needs to finish this in 2 sets though.

One of these days, she deserves a nice, easy two setter. Sadly, I don't think it will happen today, though.

 

[kskate2]

Belinda up 4-1. Looks like another 3-setter unless Venus goes super clean and aggressive.

 

[tossip]

Venus can be aaagh...

 

[Kirijax]

Venus breaks back!

 

[kskate2]

You're right Tim. 4-4

 

[kskate2]

I think the Incredible C-Bulk puts the resurgent Genie back in the bottle

I think the Incredible C-Bulk puts the resurgent Genie back in the bottle

I had to think about that one for a min. (it's 4 am here)

And I like it! :snicker

 

[kskate2]

Venus breaks and will serve for it. Will she get tight like she's been prone to doing?

 

[tossip]

she better serve good
