Serena was the weak link last night. So many times she could have crossed and ended the point, she just let Vee keep hitting CC shots until she made an error or the net was taken away from them. Unacceptable. They should've been all over Stearns love offering of a serve.
Serena cross or poaching was atrocious.. My mixed doubles partner played years ago at FLA St.. She is still a much better volleyer or around the net than Serena hands of stone. That's has always been her Achilles heel. I she could take care of the net. she would have won #24 years ago with that serve. Hey, I guess the tennis gods gave her all they could.

Saba off the boil again, goes down in straights to Bejlek. Soon she won't have to worry about the #1 ranking. Maybe that will take some pressure off when she's not hunted anymore.
She played some mindless tennis last night. She has her left foot on the back left singles line and tried an inside out down the line bh slice..who does that? Wasnt it wild late in the first set Saba slammed her racket and lost her dampener flew into the box area outside of the court. she had the ball kids and other spend 3 mins looking for it when she could have gotten one out of her tennis bag which she eventually went over to her chair to retrieve a new one. totally put the server on ice.. Saba is wild.

she should've received a time warning for that. She created the need for the dampener by throwing her racquet. Umpires are soft like I said last week about the Eala mania.

So glad Jess sent cheating Iga packing. She goes off court every time she loses the first set so she can break momentum. It has been working in this tourney because she comes back and wins the 2nd set and normally coasts in the decider. Glad Jess found her game in the decider and bested her.

I think Fils will boss the points and overpower Foe. Hopefully Jess doesn't have a letdown in the final after sending Iga out. But just like Wimby, Coco will have a slight edge w/ movement and volleying. I could see Coco winning it in 3 sets again.
