Well if Serena plans on making a push at Wimbledon or the US Open, she needs to put in some appearances about now to get match fit.

She's probably waiting on IW and Miami to play. Then I figure she will venture to EU and play either Madrid or Rome.

I’d like to see her play some smaller tournaments before wading into bigger tournament territory. I just sense early exits that won’t give her needed match play.

If she wants guaranteed match play, she should sign up for doubs too.

Simona Halrp,who decided to have no more staff.

Yeah, I remember the day I decided to let my staff go. It’s been hard, I’m not going to lie, but I’ve somehow managed to endure.

Agree,though I think Simona has been on the tour long enough to work things out by herself.

Ticket prices for this year's Wimbledon women's single's final will be the same as the men's final for the first time since 1991.
Saturday women's championship match,Saturday July 9th will be 240 pounds same as the men's final on the following day.

Hope it won't turn out like the '75 Final with BJK and Goolagong! I'd be quite PO'd! The only waste of time for the men might have been in '83 with McEnroe going against your own Aussie from NZ, Chris Lewis! I didn't even watch it! I wasn't waking up at 8 AM to see that drubbing!

Wait in line and stop being soo pushy no?

Lets wait and see before making any judgements

Lets wait and see before making any judgements

Just being a "Devil's Advocate" since there's been a debate about = pay for decades! I don't promote BO5 for women, but they do want = $$$$!

That argument has been going on for decades like you say,about paying women the same as men at GS level,I suspect now this argument will raise its 'ugly head' again,as Wimbledon have decided to charge the price of finals at women and men the same.
I think the women can play 5 sets matches,they are fit enough.That is just my opinion.

 

[tossip]
