2026 Women's Wimbledon Championships

yep, she used up all her reserve energy to get the break.

After a certain time, no amount of HOPE & respect is going to give back a legend her youth & skill to perform brilliantly just one more time for her fans! I didn't like it when Martina did it back in '04 & I don't respect this effort & need by Serena for adoration to reclaim something long since past on to a new generation! Let's say this poor girl chokes this match away? So what! How long can y'all dream? When it's time, I'll point out the same for Novak! He's still competently competing going on 40!

nope, apparently he likes those blonde model types

Nobody here has unrealistic expectations where Rena is concerned. You don't know anything about her so you don't know why she came back. I doubt someone would subject themselves to the doping protocols, just to hear a few cheers thrown their way. I've heard rumblings she did it so her youngest daughter would know what mommy used to do for a living.

BTW Maya absorbs pace very well, Serena should not be giving her soo much pace

I heard the same thing Keli she did it for her daughter? I still feel deep down Serena has been missing tennis and wanted to come back and test the current waters

 

[kskate2]

I believe that also MM. Both things can be true. Again, no one is subjecting themselves to drug testing unless they seriously want to play.

 

[the AntiPusher]

the body serves have won every point for Serena ..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Quite frankly I thought Maya would struggle seeing she has lost 11 straight tour matches in a row

 

[the AntiPusher]

AP she barely served body in her prime and you know this. Rena has always been about serving aces. She goes for the ace on every ball, period

Keli.. she just served 4 body serves in that game and pulled it out.. I think if she can win this set.. She needs to put the pressure on with the chip and charge.. she did it a few times this set..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

My dear AP you are obsessed with serving women should use the body serve more often, dont understand why their dont

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Will be interesting to see what happens if we go to a TB in the 2nd set, Maya has been serving well

The lady said she wanted to have some fun.. nothing to loose.. I believe her to a point

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

6 games all TB for the 2nd set

 

[kskate2]

I get that, but just remember how she used to be. she very rarely used body serves. she had to change something up or she would've been outta here. And she still might go down in straights. This TB will have everything I promise you

I dont Serena is playing at the level to win this TB convincingly .. its gonna be the type of drama that would often make our Susan clean her house up to relieve the stess

 

[kskate2]

you don't really believe that do you? if she just wanted to have fun she would've stayed in doubs only. MM is right. she wants to challenge herself against the newbies and see how she measures up

 

[kskate2]

how bout them apples? girl hung tough in the TB and forces a decider. I don't know what she will have left, but this is what they came for?

I did add the caveat " I believe her " to a point" !

Serena won the TB but it was a narrow win 76(6) lets not go overboard
Serena never goes down fighting its in her DNA

 

[kskate2]

girl saved a MP like she did in good ole days on this court
