Azarenka can definitely take a set.

Azarenka can definitely take a set.

djokovic is an animal ?
nadal to tame the animal tomorrow

 

[90's Clay]

Just hope its a good match.. Im tired of watching all these one sided beatdowns

 

[JadeC]

Going with Azarenka in 3, despite her not really playing well in her other matches. I just hope it's a good match though.

 

[SeeingDusk]

can anyone link me to the match?

No chance.

 

[Vanhool]

I want goaterena to give a beatdown and show everyone who's the boss. However, I picked serena in 3. I think she will stress out from the occasion and have a lapse or two, but hopefully will prevail.

 

[DRII]

Azarenka is serving bad.
She had been broken 19 times since the beginning of the US open.

OK, WTA players get broken more than men, but still 19 times for a top 5 player, that's bad, Serena will destroy her.

Azeranka's serving has been subpar, but she returned Serena's serve well the last match they played...

 

[Baxter]

Nice of Richard to loan her one of his old sport coats.

 

[powerangle]

Hopin' it's a cracker!

 

[DRII]

Aza's got a little swagger...LOL

 

[Josh Lyman]

I'd love to see Vika win the first set, just to see what kind of nerves hit Serena.

 

[90's Clay]

Azarenka with that great serving again..

 

[powerangle]

A well blasted BH winner from Serena to break!

 

[bluetrain4]

Bad start for Vika. But, she's very good at working her way into a match after starting slowly. On the other hand, Serena hasn't let up this whole tournament.

 

[insideguy]

Typical Serena always starts off like a cheetah. She crushes spirit early. Key is for Vika to try and catch the queen falling asleep in the 2nd set and then take it to 3. Dont know if that will happen but its her only hope.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Why does Mouratoglou always look so stoic?

 

[flyingboris]

Serena has a "Coaching consultant"? Eh?

 

[Josh Lyman]

Wind really seems to be affecting Serena

 

[DRII]

ridiculous wind...

 

[powerangle]

Serena gifts it right back...ugly.

 

[Devil_dog]

Two games. Two breaks. Wind seems to be a factor.

 

[Faster]

Wind really seems to be affecting Serena

Serena naturally feels more wind than Azarenka. Gets in your head.

 

[bluetrain4]

Stupid game by Serena. That's the gift Vika needed to get grounded in the match.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Vika serving the beginning of this match like Stan did yesterday.

 

[Devil_dog]

So when Ashe Stadium gets a roof, I wonder if they'll close it for the wind...

 

[90's Clay]

ROFLMAO.. These mindless ball bashers like Serena can't compensate for the wind. She looks like a deer in headlights

 

[Josh Lyman]

Slice looks like the way to go this match. Slice everything, Brad Gilbert style.

 

[DRII]

Azeranka hits the ball earlier and cleaner than any other top player (off the ground)...

 

[romeo8880]

Surprised so many people on here condone them playing in the wind since there are some on here who are scared of water!

 

[dafinch]

It's amazing how Carillo never misses an opportunity to make a snide remark, in this case, about Serena's dress.

What did she say?

 

[90's Clay]

I didn't see people complaining last year when Murray was winning the USO because of the wind (the ONLY reason Murray won last year)

 

[Baxter]

Weird design shows the wind.

 

[Vanhool]

It's amazing how Carillo never misses an opportunity to make a snide remark, in this case, about Serena's dress.

Lol made sure to bring up past meltdowns in the first game!

 

[Devil_dog]

What did she say?

Something to the effect of how tiny it is or some dribble like that...

 

[dafinch]

Lol made sure to bring up past meltdowns in the first game!

And there's that Patrick is more than a coach "...on and off the court." Anybody got a gag?

 

[Josh Lyman]

Azarenka needs to take this set quickly before Serena gets a chance to adjust.

 

[dafinch]

Something to the effect of how tiny it is or some dribble like that...

That it is a "...poorly designed wind dress, although it DOES show us how windy it is."

 

[FreeBird]

Redfoo, what have you done to this sweet little girl? she is looking bulgy. :lol:

 

[powerangle]

Serena's wind playing abilities (inabilities) makes Novak smile.

 

[DRII]

Carillo's color commentary is great!

 

[90's Clay]

Novak better hope its not this windy tomorrow

 

[Duncan Bell]

Yo yo yo! Let's go Vika!

 

[Josh Lyman]

Novak better hope its not this windy tomorrow

A flatter ball cuts through the wind more, so wouldn't that will help against Rafa?

 

[FreeBird]

Novak better hope its not this windy tomorrow

I have checked forecast. It was supposed to be gentle breeze today. Only light breeze tomorrow. :twisted:

 

[FreeBird]

Serena's open stance BH is ugly.

 

[DRII]

Serena playing with more topspin now...

 

[Josh Lyman]

Serena seems to be figuring out the wind. Ruh roh...

 

[dafinch]

A flatter ball cuts through the wind more, so wouldn't that will help against Rafa?

It didn't seem to help in last year's final against Lady Forehand.
