She had her left thigh taped and announcers were saying something about an impingement during the Vekic match. After the match she said she hoped to get it worked on before today

Thanks for the info.I just noticed they have begun their match.

Great comeback!

 

[Moxie]

Big win for Serena. #100 on Ashe (Thanks, @MargaretMcAleer for that stat.) Big fight!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

It was a fairly sloppy match on both player’s part. Serena is going to have to clean up her game from this point forward. Others left in the draw have been playing much nicer tennis than she has.

Hopefully, we get the Kenin/Azarenka match up. That will be a good one to see.
