It's been awhile since I've played with a babolat. I've been mostly a prince and then Wilson guy but I'd love to try out the babolat since I'm in the market for new rackets. My ultra 100s are about to bite the dust.

Do you go to college? Most of the colleges here in Houston have a tennis club that competes with other clubs from other colleges.

If you're going to commit to a new style what better way to test it out then against the current number 1 in a Grand Slam Final. There were pluses and minuses to take from tonight but at least she stuck with it to see where she needs to tweak her game. Maybe it costed her a title but maybe...

I'm thinking she is dedicating herself to this new style. Once she fine tunes it she'll have the best of both worlds. Being versatile will allow her to play the game that best suits her opponent. It's not easy to do though but I hope she is successful in it. If she is able to mix her two...

I want to be the first to Congrats Serena. She stuck in there and fought off a barrage by Henin in the 2nd. It looked dire for her early in the 3rd but a few points and Serena turned it around. Congratulations Serena Williams.

She probably still and wants Henin to win but doesn't think Henin is gonna do it playing offensively but she continually goes on and on about it. I think it's over for Henin now myself. 3 breaks of Serena in one set is too much.

She's been saying that Henin's new style isn't going to work against Serena and that she likes Henin better when she played more defensively and constructed points and ran balls down with her speed. Right after that Henin went on a crazy streak and won the 2nd set. Maybe Carillo has a point...

monumental task for Henin now. having to break twice is hard but to win the set she has to break Serena 3 times total.

Henin! please win this just to shut up Carillo. That's my new motivation.

yeah it was down for a bit it seemed. Okay..Serena's 2nd serve has no direction. Justin is having an easy time of moving around it and slapping those forehands.

She was errant with her forehand earlier. I think she was just going up the middle til she found her range and form....WHICH appears to be just about now and Henin is putting those forehands where she wants them now. Hope she can carry that form into the 3rd.

Awesome point! If henin wins this with THIS style I want Carillo to retire! yeah not gonna happen :(

That aggressive backhand on the 2nd serve is hitting now.

She's already out of the country. They just won't let her back in :)

Geez! let the woman play the game she likes. She just came back and is changing her style. Once Henin gets the hang of her new style it may be enough to put her over the top. Right now she's lacking the accuracy and consistency. She wants to learn how to dictate play instead of playing her...

man that forehand is killing henin.

The only thing being terrorized is my ears with Serena's grunting :P

I think Justin is gonna lose the 1st set to nerves but hopefully will relax and take the next 2.

I'm an american but i reserve the right to choose who I want to represent America. My vote does not go to Serena. If it was Oudin out there I'd change my mind :)

C'mon Henin. you GOTTA break here. too many bp's left stranded.

payback's a *****!!

LUCKY. Grrrr

i think it's in.

justin i think would be better off chipping and charging on that 2nd serve. Serena isn't picking up that slice that well at the moment. Dang too late! Serena holds.

How much store credit does TW reimburse you with? Do you get the suggested retail price of the shoe or do you just get the amount you paid for the shoe?

Oh I definitely agree that Serena was way out of line with her behavior. There was no reason for her behavior. I know rules are rules but I come from the side of the argument where if it was just a sliver of her shoe on the line then the line judge should have let it go. I guess that comes...

Where are all the professional photographer photos?? I'm surprised here aren't any considering how many photos of the players they must take during a big match like this.

Anyone think the lines lady had a smug smile on her face when they panned over to her after the foot fault call?

This shot was offered the day after on CBS. STill hard to tell if it's a clear foot fault or not.

It still doesn't make sense. If a player is within .05 of the lower level then they should be able to appeal regardless of how far their team advanced. What's the difference between one guy on a team that is within .05 and was on a team that didn't advance to sectionals and a guy who is within...
