Who gets the title?

I get back to WTA threads after a while and what do I see first? Serena wars! Oh, how have I missed this place!

I think Kenin is playing a bit too conservatively. She's not opening her angles and is letting Bianca rip it as a result.
 
Oh my god Sofia's coach (her father?) is just awful. He like blames her for not playing well, just wow.

Ostapenko is a strange case. Her very 1st WTA title (2017) was a slam event. But she has only added 1 minor title for a grand total of 2. Osaka has fared better but is still rather odd. A total of 3 titles -- all but 1 of them is a slam title. Will Jelena and Naomi be the WTA versions of Stan Wawrinka?

I don't see them being the WTA version of Wawrinka and I'm not sure I can find one - DelPotro maybe..... but he was plagued with serious injuries after winning the USO so it's not really the newly found glory that dragged him down.

I think Kerber is more like the WTA corresponded of Wawrinka.
- Both had an average career until their late 20s - solid top 10/20 players but only winning a hand full of small tournaments and few occasional QF/SF runs at GSs during the previous 4-5 seasons leading to their respective breakthrough seasons
- Both won their first GS at 28/29 years old and climbed to the top of the rankings those years - Kerber #1 (2016), Wawrinka #3 (2014)
- Both won their subsequent GSs within the next 2-3 seasons but no other material wins in big tournaments in between - Wawrinka won one Master1000 in 2014 though, but Kerber doesn't have any Premier5/Mandatory title (each played and lost 2-3 finals)
- Both lost another GS Final after winning the first one
- Both started to faded away the next season after their 3rd GS win

Andreescu is playing well (even if her 1st serve deserted her in spots), but Kenin is making it easier. She netted too many shots in crucial moments and is lacking intensity and fight, which is odd in her.
 
I think at this point, Andreescu has a bigger chance to give Serena a run fro the money. But then, it depends which Serena shows up; she might even win.
 
The women doing the court interview got it all wrong :confused: .... Bencic vs Serena in RC15 was a SF not the Final... the final was Bencic-Halep.

Do you remember that lots of fireworks were going off and the commentators thought it was Bencic besting Serena!
It was unrelated but the timing was impeccable.
 
Serena is making way too many errors. Looks sluggish out there. Got the power, just needs to figure out her footwork and rhythm.
