When was the last time Serena Williams won an event between Wimbledon and the US Open?
Damned if I know.
Haven't been able to watch more than four or five games of tennis since summer arrived in Maine. I check the score when I get around to it and post the results if time allows.
I tried watching the veterans duke it out in LA. But when Marat Safin gave Tommy Haas the break right back with consecutive double faults and stopped fighting his opponent, I stopped fighting sleep.
As for Serena. I would imagine she had all sorts of trouble breaking Samantha Stosur's serve. The Roland Garros semifinalist who held match points against Serena in Melbourne earlier this year, has the second best set of serves on the tour and enjoys playing the best Slam performer in the world. I was a bit surprised of the third-set score, but Sam finally got that out of her system.
Better not happen again.
I see Miss EleVen, on another one of her home courts, tore through Miss 100%, Miss Legs is right where she usually is, and Maid Marion still can't lose to Miss Melodrama.
Now who's going to win the title?
