Awful week end for the ticket holders

Finally some Serena boob sweat! Thus far the highlight of the weekend!

Easy win for Serena Williams 6-0, 6-1 over Lucie Safarova. Now she's on to the European clay, a totally different animal. She played on the green clay as if it were a hard court.

Murphy Jensen might be exaggerating just a tad about how great a day of tennis it's been...

He is prone to excitement.

Where is Serena playing next?

[munchin]

Serena now has as many clay titles as grass titles

Serena played exceptionally good, clean tennis today. I wish Safarova could have figured out a way to make it more competitive.

Apparently Sascha Baijin convinced Serena to use luxillon strings mixed in with gut to help cut down on errors.

Where is Serena playing next?

Serena said she's playing Madrid next.

As for green vs. red clay, Serena actually says she feels she plays better on the red clay, so I'll guess we will see.

I am hoping that Lucie can get it together and she and Nastya can win the Dubs title.

Does anyone remember, I believe it was back in 07 when Serena (and Venus) switched racquets from the oversize 110+ sq in. to a smaller 97-98 sq in. for more control and less errors. I believed she made the switch just before she won the AO that year. Now with this change...hmmm...
