Who will win Madrid?

[Calvy]

I know about Maria's H2H record against Serena,. However, Serena had difficulty against Maria in Miami, I would not be surprised if she gave her a match here.
I am not ready to dismiss Maria's chances yet.

You fail to realize, the surface under their feet is no longer a factor in their "rivalry." The defining factor is what's between the head, and Serena is squarely in Maria's head, and Miami in the end, regardless how wonderful Maria played for a set and a half, only punctuated the fact that in the end, Maria has that doubt when it comes to Serena.

Miami is definitely a "glass half full" "glass half empty" situation for Maria. She could look at it as, I almost beat Serena, or, I got bageled in the last set.

Yeah that last set in Miami was like the first set and a half may as well not even have happened. I was disappointed in Maria's fade away as I was rather enjoying the match up until the end of the second set.

Maria has a mental block each time she plays Serena and this trend will continue ...its not easy undoing 8 yrs of mental slavery.

I do cling to the hope that we get a Petra vs Serena final. We will see in a few hours whether that becomes a little closer to reality.

Sorry, it was not to be.

Scratch Petra off the list.
Not many people left on the list, may be I should have listed Kerber?

Ana surprised us and took care of Angie.
I bet if Sara beats Serena tomorrow, she'll get a bunch of votes.
