Thank you, thank you :D

Hopefully she can have another encouraging match in the next round before facing Nadia in the third round.

Serena more often than not is going to drub the tour light weights (apart from Sun and now Bammer :wacko: ), but it's when she comes up against the top seeds that my confidence in her fails :(

Still onwards and upwards, a good win :)

Oops that was me, didn't realise I hadn't registered, I didn't realise you could post without registering either :blink:

Very Good win for her nonetheless.I dont care whether it was a lightweight or not every match counts.This girl is definetly on the way up!

Good luck to her. I do think Serena has a chasm to cross though - she can often beat the so called lightweights easily, and so she should do. But when it comes to the later stages and the very top women she falters. I think that her lack of match practice is the real problem. She needs to be realisitc abotu what she can achieve this year and be prepared to hang in there and build slowly on that over the next year or two. And of course work on staying fit so as she can get that match practice in. I'm nto sure what is realistic for her in terms of success and who she can beat, but really none of the top players are infallible. So if she can get her edge back there would be no reason why she should not be able to beat people like Amelie and Kim, and JHH. Maria would be tough but not impossible. If Serena got her edge back then I'm sure even the mentally tough Maria woudl be a little worried.

A quick analysis Superbrat...Serena came back late last year and had some good wins.Look at her I think US Open performance.She may have lost to Amelie but in the process she bagelled the life out of her because she then went on to get double bagelled by Maria.So her realistic terms means she can be number 1 and quite frankly she can.

Let her get hungry again and then we will see!She just needs a sniff at a semi or a final then there will be a different Serena!

Ooops. Cheers for highlighting that SW.

All sorted now. We shall have no guests in here! Ya gotta register!. :P

Yeah you could be right. But she's gotta keep getting to these semis to break through, I'm not convinced she'll do it first time but then again with her, if she gets fired up you never know.

Yay Serena :D

25 winners to 14 UEs, 10 aces to 3 DFs...pretty good :ok:

Yep, some good stats, hopefully that 1st serve % will go up as well as she will need it high against Nadia!

Much better than her match against Bammer though :phew:
I don't why Serena doesn't play this well at all WTA events :rolleyes:

Please no one bite my head off, but I saw Nadia and I saw serena and it looks like Serena will have to dig deeper than ever unfortunately she is too fat for that. :D

Oh give it a rest Chairman :rolleyes:

roflmao roflmao roflmao

you must be pleased for ya girl SW19 - hope she can do you proud :)

I'm hoping I get to see it this afternoon. I want Serena to come back sooooooooooo badly. I luv watching her and her sister. She looks pretty fit these days.

I wish her luck. :pray:


btw I luv your smilies

No matter how far Serena goes, she is the star (and the saviour) of this tournament :wub:

stop that! :ban:

who me? :halo:

Just a bit of interest.Sybill who BAMMED Serena last week has been bundled out of the tournament!

No need to hate the girl she was only doing her job. Anyone see pottypova almost get bammed? :D

Did Petrova lose?

I dont think she has even played at all. Pottypova is sharapova, you know the way she loves to go to the loo.
