I agree, I think Serena was very rusty on all aspect of her game but her serve. I know she had to be nervous. Good to see her back.

I am delighted she is back she said she was bored at home lol! oh Serena you make me laugh 2 young children and all the outside commercial ventures she has, bottom line is she has missed tennis and good on her for coming back!

That’s the allure of Serena, she is a Warrior..one of the greatest ultimate competitors in the history of sports, not just tennis.

Not great news for Vicky Mboko in her singles match against Pliskova she had to retire in her match, due to knee, Vicky has a history with knee troubles, I am trying to find out more news, this could hamper her as she is due to play her doubles match with Serena tomorrow.

That’s a shame

That’s a shame

A real shame, Vicky has had a history of knee injuries ( left knee), she slipped on the grass.quite frankly I doubt now she will play doubles with Serena on Thursday

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am happy to report that Serena will be playing with Karolina Muchova in Berlin tournament as her doubles partner
Muchova would have to be one of my favorite players, who has the most variety as a player on the tour
Cant wait to see these 2 in action in Berlin

I expect Serena will play a little better with Muchova. Vicky and Serena appeared from my perspective not to be on the same page with their strategies. I could be wrong. Serena should be more relax with more of an old school traditional doubles partner like Karolina. I expect Serena to be more aggressive because she knows Muchova can cover for her. You folks know what I mean, y’all are seasoned doubles players I’m sure.
