For sure. Might be a case of Goerges forgetting where exactly she was on the court.

Kerber will indeed have a shot because she plays a different game (instead of trying to beat Serena at her own one) but it's not a great chance, she'll be the clear underdog for certain.

I often wonder what her career would look like if 2-3 of the majors were played on grass like old times. We only get to see her (or anybody) play one (maybe two) tournament a year on grass, so we don’t get to see her fully dialed in on the surface til half way through the tournament. 2012 Olympics she got to play a second tournament and it was epic level.

Why doesn't Goerges try a different tactic? Cause plan A clearly doesn't work. How about a slice?

It's hard to say, more big tourneys on grass would also mean a tougher field on it, everyone would be gearing their game towards grass. However, I do think it's her best surface so she'd probably have even more slams than she does now.

Serena said thank you very much. Goerges totally didn't know where she was on the court.

Kerber needs to hope that Serena has an off day on her serve. That’s her only shot imo
You'll find a lot of people over the next day or two will be picking Kerber to win. Yeah,she's the underdog but not a big one it's 60/40
I think she’s just feeling overcome at this point.

All of you talking about grass and I suddenly asked myself: where's Pironkova? After a short search, I found out she's pregnant. I had no idea.

Another mom for ESPN to blabber about.
Just wait, pretty soon they're gonna add an extra stat for Serena. Win/loss vs other moms.

And Serena has a brain fart on her serve. Match not over.

You try losing a stomach after having a complicated pregnancy and c-section.

With the exception of the loose service game very good match from Serena.

In studio, Bethanie Mattek-Sands was giving Goerges every chance to defeat Serena, and said as much about Kerber's chances, if Serena moves forward. So on that note, I don't think Serena is the overwhelming favorite here or if she made the final, in the minds of some.

Big gift from Jules in that final game but yeah, overall this is Serena’s best match.
Goerges suits her.

She’s not the overwhelming favorite but i just can’t see her losing the final. We will see. The match’s on her racquet in my humble opinion.

I just think the the cut of her dress is very suspicious.
Anyway, congrats to Serena fans. Görges had her chances but obviously couldn't handle the pressure.

You saying she's baby doping again?
Yeah I am also feeling more hopeful based on this match. It was a very good display from her.
But Kerber will be a lot tougher.

So what will be serena williams’s ranking if she somehow wins Wimbledon? I know she has been away for awhile but it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know she’s a top 5 player maybe even top 3 or maybe the best when healthy even at this stage of her career.

Apparently Serena is a mother. It hasn’t been mentioned much in commentary...

Even tho she did not prevail today, Julia G has secured her spot back in the top 10 (since Jelena O also lost in the SF today). Congrats Julia.

Lol i have no doubts that Kerber will push her hard but Kerber has to hope that Serena has a bad serving day and spraying errors left and right.

She back to the top 30 with today’s win. In the top 20 if she wins on Sat.

According to this, the maximum of points she could achieve is 2315. So, she would be ranked 19 (Osaka is the 18th, with 2350).

Totally predictable-stopped watching after the start of the second set-tuned back in to see her break Serena & then mugged her service game to lose by love. Doubt I will bother with the final.
