Serena Williams vs Simona Halep - 2015 IW SF

[Marius_Hancu]

I know you've waited for this poll.

Well, now, rush in your votes, there are just several hours left

H2H: 4-1 for Serena

Serena is also winning 90% of the time with top-10 opponents

At the same time, Halep administered Serena in Singapore her worst beating ever.

Can Halep do it again?

Serena is intent on showing everyone how much she has missed such a big event for 15 long years

Halep can do it. She is one of a few player can beat Serena.

Clever guy

I dismissed this case when setting up the poll, but here we are. Unbelievable: knee injury.

 

[veroniquem]

Halep in 0. Depressing.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Well played Serena.

Serena early on in the week. She's been practicing with strapping all throughout the training sessions.

yeah, ..., but it doesn't seem to be that serious:

The prognosis for the injury isn't too bad though, and Williams is hoping to compete in Miami.

"It's just a question of a little time," the World No.1 continued. "It's not like I need three or four weeks. I really need just a couple of days and everything will settle down. I have a tremendous amount of inflammation in my knee, and it's going to go away. Unfortunately, I just need a couple of days."

She didn't really want to play IW, she just needed all the Serena hoopla drama publicity. She got the tourney management falling all over themselves saying great things about her and now...she's gone. She didn't want to face Halep again because Halep fights for every, and I mean every, point. Not that Serena can't beat her, she just knows it will be a real battle. Good riddance. It's just that we'll have to put up with the same thing all over again when Venus decides to play IW again.

Marius, if Halep does not win--after having such a monumental, lucky break in SW's withdrawal, does that suggest anything about her game?

No. It means she had a bad day or Jelena a good day.

Let me rephrase your question: yesterday there was a solar eclipse in Europe. Does that suggest anything for the next 5 years economy?
