It's a simple equation, really.
Diatchenko never believed she could beat Serena.
Serena never believed Diatchenko could possibly beat her, even if Serena had let her lead with a break in the second.
This gives Serena plenty of time for her weird antics (yelling, outbursts, yadda yadda) and Diatchenko plenty of time to - on point - start folding like a cheap tent.
It's all very convincing in the end, but the experienced spectator knows he's seen it all before.

So what's the verdict on the outfit?
Apparently embedded in the print are the words "mother, champion, queen, goddess".

OK, when will the knee injury kick in? Third round? QF?

This girl simply can't play. She's awful.
Some encouraging shots on the Serena side if you support her, but the opponents next week will be a different kettle of fish.

It depends who her opponent is and the score in the match. Serena will pull that if it again’s Osaka for example or Berten! and she is down a set and a half! Anyone that has beaten Serena in the recent past, Serena not to willing to gut it out now!

I don't like it. Crop top is fine it's just the print. Never too keen on Abloh/Off White tho, too edgy pour moi.

Truth be told, there's no one like Serena. One measly match and this thread starts to resemble a civil war.
I'd love to see the Penko-Vika match, but it might be too early for me. It could either be the most competitive match in these first days or a complete s**tshow. No middle term when it involves little Alona. Sabalenka-Cibulkova can be interesting too. Lots of sniffing balls, grunts and POMMMEEE are guaranteed, at least.
Lucie/Cibulkova are not slated to compete tomorrow, I see. Really rooting for Lucie. Ending her career with a Slam doubles title would be a fitting ending for her indeed.

..and you know this by what means? Magic? Or the neverending saga of your hatred of Serena Williams? Take your pick.
Time to post the list of facts again do debunk this stuck-on-repeat ********.
Players who not only contend for majors, but actually win more than one time. Here's the list of non-Serena majors winners since 2010:
- Schiavone - FO - 2010
- Clijsters - USO 2010 & AO 2011
- Li Na - FO 2011 & AO 2014
- Kvitova - Wimbledon 2011 & 2014
- Stosur - USO 2011
- Sharapova - FO 2012 & FO 2014
- Azarenka - AO 2012 & 2013
- Bartoli - Wimbledon 2013
- Pennetta - USO 2015
- Kerber - AO 2016, USO 2016 & Wimbledon 2018
- Muguruza - FO 2016 & Wimbledon 2017
- Ostapenko - FO 2017
- Stephens - USO 2017
- Wozniacki - AO 2018
- Halep - FO 2018
- Osaka: USO 2018 & Osaka: AO 2019
In other news, Kvitova pulling out due to a forearm injury....well, i'm sure it will be as good as new when Wimbledon rolls around. Same for Kerber--my early pick to win that major.

Fantastic win for Stosur over Strycova in straight sets. Unseeded Sam was in the little section which had #30 Buzărnescu and #6 Kvitová. The Romanian lost and Petra withdrew so there’ll be an unseeded player in the 4R and Stosur is in prime position given her record at the French with a final and 3 SF’s. The other three in with a chance are Alexandrova, Bolsova and Cirstea.

Yes, rooting for Safarova as well. It was too bad BMS wasn't ready to compete, they made a great doubles team.
I think it's hard to rule out the holder of the last 2 slams. But I don't think it will be easy for her to win a title. Potential Serena match up in the QF (yes, it might happen folks), Halep in the SF, not to mention who she plays in the finals. But if she can find a way through, wow,.

I don't see her winning it. I think her lack of consistency in the regular events is going to catch up to her at the majors eventually.
She may stick around at least long enough to give Serena another defeat though. We'll see.

As @emilyhex said, it's hard to rule out the winner of the last 2 slams. I don't think she'll win the title though.
I actually was going to write that she has a decent draw but she really doesn't.
1R: Schmiedlova is a decent clay courter with two titles on the surface.
2R: she could face either the 2017 RG champ Ostapenko or 2x slam champ, former #1 and Rome QFist Azarenka.
3R: Sakkari or last years doubles champ Siniakova should be ok.
4R: is either Garcia who just made the Strasbourg final or Keys who actually beat Osaka here at the French Open last year.
If she manages to get through that she has Serena in the QF and then Halep in the SF.
In other words, can't see it happening.
