That word may be a bit indelicate. Let's just say "heavy". And I really don't think that Serena's movement is her forte but that was not really my point. Last time I made that observation for myself was about Clijsters and sure enough, she hurt herself that very tournament. Obviously, it becomes more and more of an issue as the player ages.

Victoria is the type of player who really really likes opposition, fight [...] and this is one of the many reasons why people don't really like her because she doesn't care a f-ck about them (e.g., what they think) and does whatever she feels like however she feels like. The medias etc. love to know you care about their sh-t because it gives them a sensation of control not with Victoria. I don't really fear for Victoria in the F from that aspect. I like/adore that.

Really? Thanks for explaining. I didn't realize that. Personally, I don't think she did anything wrong in the semi. She won it fair and square. Stephens was missing too much. I'm really looking forward to that final. I think it will be much better than a Serena/Shara would have been. |

Well yes, Serena/Sharapova matches are very ugly but Sharapova's matches anyways a pretty ugly against any really decent opponent who has the abilities to expose her one-dimensional game. I think also that the F will be relatively competitive. Li and Victoria almost always play competitive matches though out of the last 4 won by Victoria only 2 actually were.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Li Na mirrored her 2011 AO final, but this time injuries had to rear their ugly head too.

on the upside, the li na went on to win the next slam she played after losing in the final that year...so as bill murray would say "she's got that going for her"!

If Serena can get her s*** together at RG she will take what is rightfully hers from the witch known as Vika.

Li should be back on the list. New coach and all still a huge headcase in big matches.

Azarenka is still a non-factor at RG. Serena was a huge favorite to win RG last year, but imploded against Razzano. Serena hasn't seen a SF at RG since 2003. Her fitness is the main issue when playing there. Even then, Sharappova/Li/Kuznetsova/Errani and a few others have equal or better odds than Serena there.

I think Li should do well in the spring leading up to RG. This might be her last real shot to win another major. I wanted her to win the AO since that's clearly the major she likes the most. Also her region's major and she's the anti-Stosur even with all the Chinese supporters there.
