“I made you”

Serena didn't even run for this ball!

Sorry, but she's carrying too much weight. If she's happy with her body, then great, and that's all that matters. But she shouldn't expect to reach the champion levels of the past, just not possible with too much body mass.

Hard to watch poor Serena go down like this. The chair umpire may have to stop the match useing the 3-P's clause under the new rules. Her child Olympus, is not there watching to give her the moral support that she badly needs at this time.

Man Serena is looking phenomenal! This is finally the the grandslam where she claims the elusive no. 24 ?

I really think that the fact they dont have fans in the stadium watching this year, is a massive advantage to Serena. Normally she struggles so much during the US open final because the weight of expectation in the crowd with the likes of royalty and celebraties alike watching.

Go Serena!! ?

Tough one! Like them both, but wish Serena can win#24 slams

This will definitely be one of the matches of the tournament.

It seems like Sloane bucked up her ideas know it was all for this match

But if you know Serena,
you know she'll raise her game to DEFCON 4

......but will it be enough

Serena Needs that 1st set

She still remains to be the greatest women's player of all time. Not right now tho. I do think she can get back to past levels and win, but not the way she is right now

Poor poor Serena-it does look like curtains for this former champ. She could hardly make it back to her seat after that last game. The size of her buttocks HAS gotten a little smaller this year, but it's those extremely large legs and thighs that seem to be slowing her down as she chases balls all over the court. During last break she did apply some type of lubricant to her inner thighs to prevent the soreness and chaffing of them just scrapping together with each stride as she runs.

Only thing keeping serena alive is her serve

It's on page 4, paragraph 1-A: States that any player that shows Piss-Poor-Play of tennis for more than 3 minutes per set, may be disqualified by chair umpire.
