It looks to me that it is a tank job.

Breaks and holds for a 2-0 lead!

Interesting match, Serena is not her normal aggressive self. The friendship is affecting her performance.

I am not a Woz fan but good on her. I dont think I have ever seen her hit this hard off the ground. I am impressed. Maybe people can really change their game? I wonder if training for a marathon has helped her in this way.

 

[Down_the_line]

Serena wins the 2nd 7-5. I predicted Serena to win but I was thinking before the match that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Wozniacki won. She's playing better lately and plus, her game is the perfect counter to Serena's game when Serena is off, and that was a definite possibility given the year she has had so far.

There's also the friendship factor as well but that can affect either of them.

Yea nothing is annoying to Serena when she is not on as a human back board.

Woz hanging in. Serena at this point relies too much on her serve.

 

[LazyNinja19]

Am i the only one who's finding Wozniacki's shorts incredibly super sexy? Dayuuuummmm, just wanna rip those apart

 

[soyizgood]

Serena's BH looking shaky. She's also being quite defensive with the forehand.

 

[soyizgood]

Serena up 6-5. Will Woz force a tie-break?

 

[soyizgood]

Serena wasted those two match points. Now has MP #3.

Serena advances 4-6 7-5 7-5.

 

[Down_the_line]

Serena prevails 7-5 in the 3rd. Credit to Woz, she didn't bend over. She made Serena earn it.

Now let's see if Venus can get by Suarez Navarro to set up a semifinal encounter with her sister.

Serena advances 4-6 7-5 7-5.

It appeared Serena was a bit conflicted, since she was facing her friend. Not the same attitude as seen in earlier matches.

 

[MichaelNadal]

No match commentary for Venus? How did she play? I overslept:/

 

[Supertegwyn]

Women's tennis is Lol worthy @Azarenka

 

[insideguy]

Man Az is like Frankenstein out there. Just put some bolts in her neck. She needs to take the rest of the year off.

Yeah, tennis is alive and well in Canada. :grin:

And that's why Rogers is one of the WTA's premiere tournaments.

Ha, the BIG GIRLS, Venus, Serena, Maria, got a THOROUGH SPANKING OR SHOULD I SAY BEATING this week in Montreal.

The technique, personified by Aga and Carla, showed the way.

Ha, ha, gloat, gloat.
