Kiu,
You do know Serena superstitious point of always being the first to shake the chairs hand first regardless of the outcome? It's very well, and that's why I wrote what I wrote.

Nope, didn't know that, that's something tossip would know.
You are trying to jinx her!
Just kidding!

That might be true tennis etiquette, but not when Serena plays. She almost always shakes hands first and most players (not named Maria) allow her to do so. Why? I am not sure. I think its a superstitious thing.Kiu said:
I think it's the dress. It is nice but it make her look "hippy" (wide in the hips for the uninitiated)Kiu said:
Great court side interview of Victoria Duval. You can hear that she is a student of the game and is observing what the more experienced players do when they play. She said that every shot of Serena's has a purpose; I am sure that she means point construction. She is about to graduate from high school and wants to be a biomedical engineer in order to help people. She said that the experiences of her father has much to do with her career aspirations. She also gave a shout out to the "cake-boss" in Hoboken, NJ as she hopes to get a cake, lol.
Unfortunately, she and Donald Young lost in mixed doubles 10-7 in the final set. She had fun but blamed her inexperience for the loss. Great kid! I hope she stays sweet regardless if her rank is 200 or 2.

I am glad to see Serena's play is improving with each match. Definitely a step up from her play this summer. The serve is starting to click again. Her return has been on fire, and her ground game has finally left clay mode and gotten into hard court aggressive mode. I think she might want to incorporate a bit more net play into her game especially in the later rounds to give her opponents a different look.

Kiu used the word "announcer" not "umpire" (and also mentioned Chrissie), so I figured that meant on TV, not on court.
