"Serena trying to cement her spot as a hall of famer". Think that happened about 10/12 slams ago, if not more.

I actually think Simona was trying to lose to Ana in straight sets but not make it look totally obvious. It was all Ana's mistakes which forced thay match into a 3rd set

Mugs. It's about winning. Players train to win the biggest titles. So why lower your chances to win the title when you've given yourself the chance to make it easier for yourself (by already demolishing Serena).

There are probably a lot of Serena fans though in that given Ben is a US journalist.

in their first encounter here serena gifted the first, but she did not gift the second. Halep was very VERY good in the second, particularly when serena seemed to be finding her step.

bit more smarts in her last match and halep might have been focused and fresh enough here, but there's no doubt that Serena was much more focused here but Halep was very flat.
Report n88uk October 26, 2014 12:39 PM GMT
Halep had zero answers when Serena upped it even a bit today. As I've said when Serena starts doing that you have to come at her big, Halep didn't, and was pretty poor after she got broken back for 2-2 in the first.
