Somehow, I can't see a Chokesicki style meltdown for this new finalist, she can win.

Fantastic game - every bit as good as 2nd set 10th between Murray and Fed - and Muguruza is back to 4-5.

I think Muguruza has a fighting chance and the fact that she beat Serena in Grand Slam before should also boost her confidence.
However, Serena
- usually does her homework when facing an opponent that beat her in the past, esp. if it was a major underdog.
- is solid as a rock in finals (65-17); last time she lost a final was in August 2013 (Aza), and if we exclude two losses to peak Azarenka we'd have to go back to USO 2011.
- has the added career slam motivation
It should be a good match and I see two potential opportunities for Garbi:
- she has strong starts and (1) if she controls her nervjoos mind and (2) if Serena is slow to warm up her engine Garbi could get a break or two breaks advantage early on.
- if Serena wins the first set and feels strong in the second set her focus can go AWOL and we could see a replay of FO. In vast majority of 3-set finals Serena lost the second set after winning the first one.

Serena's final record they mentioned on commentary is truly unbelievable.
Won 28 of her last 30 finals. Both losses to Azarenka.

crowd gave mugaroo a massive injection of pluck appreciation there, which they should really know is lethal, given the numbers of times they've administered it to british players.
Did anyone back mug at 1000 and then smash back int serena @1.05.?
Nice of Serena to give the crowd some more time with her.
crowd was so gutted at the end hahahaha, barely a round of applause for the tank
I think muguruza was contemplating challenging
Serena is simply the GOAT.
Serena is simply the GOAT.
they made f*cking idiots of themselves giving mugaroo a standing ovation just because she got back on serve.
Like I said, serena @7/4, azarenka @7, pocket change on muguruza and you have the US Open covered.
Muggy sadly ended up living up to her name, which is a shame as played well at points.

Serena 7/4 for USO seems a value price right now. It's hard to imagine her not starting shorter than this.
Serena could of won 6-1 and bombed down aces, she just wanted more time out there and showed compassion to Muggy. Don't believe she felt nervous and tightened.

might be 5/4 tomorrow
that's unfair stu.
some absolutely stonking wins against Woz, Kerber, Dobby and A-Rad, not just the results but how she did it.
massive ask to take on Serena when she settled given the occasion.

The event has ended crew got fired?
they never did Wimbledon. they mainly do ATP 250's, internationals and challengers although they might have done the most recent USO.
handing serve back to love after the previous games is pretty awful way to go out. But women's tennis is utter garbage, so she will be good enough to win this in future

i didn't think jehovah's witnesses were allowed blood transfusions
Inverdale talking about this being the warm up to Jamie Murray in the doubles
as a pacifist, if i ever come across him i will punch him. i care not the consequences
What was sam smith doing, and more to the point, who is this jehova fella she's keeps thanking? might book an appointment to see him given the good job he's done with her

Heather was the closest person to beating Serena in this tournament

Serena adapting and reinventing her game to dominate hugely different eras of the sport is maybe her most underrated GOAT quality

For 2 weeks hopefully. Roddick has been so much better than the usual heavily used pundits.
The crap doubles nonsense/charade has started, time to switch off
