Like I said, go check the stats instead of asking me to check, it doesn't encourage me to do so when I know that all they will get is criticism.

Thing is even though I am sure revisionist history after this match will say Robson played a blinder if she wins, reality is she isn't even playing well here, she isn't having to, Venus is just playing terrible.

If there is a break here and Robson holds serve, she will probably get broken again. I think that if there is a break here, Robson will break next. But I predict that Williams will win the next set easily.

Possibly. She has Serena next so probably won't get enough points this week, but I believe she's playing Strasbourg and a good result there could get her into top 32.
