Serena in the press conference
![]() She is fuming...getting very irritated with the questions! She certainly was not in the mood to answer questions!

Well played Karolina. Joins the Beat Serena Club which is getting increasing long as Serena moves through her 30s.
And congrats to the new No.1. But will she be the champion? |

I didn't see the matches last night, I just couldn't stay up (i'm a wimp). But very happy with the results, I'm hoping Angie wins, what a great way to start out as number 1.
On an unrelated note, I have to post this, it makes me laugh every time I see it.https://twitter.com/Ratazana/status/773727133118132225 |

Wow! I wasn't expecting this! Pliskobot in a final?
![]() I'm on Ange's side for the final, of course. Would love her to cement her new career high!

I still expect at least another slam though. But 24? Hmm... Each one is going to be noticeably harder now. Then there's the injuries factor. |

Did Justine Henin ever win the US Open?

Yes, that's what we should expect. Ordinarily she shouldn't be where she's been recently at her age.

Why? I never like seeing anyone doing that, even if I don't much care for them. But it happens even to the best. E.g., Novak against Rafa.

It was a little ironic though. The AA crowd on occasions cheered Pliskova's double faults last night - and then the player they were backing lost the match on one. |

Yeah that's a bit bitchy. Double faulting is a horrible way to lose/end a match, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even dear Coco.
Oh, I love a bit of Coco! I'll always remember the match at Wimby where she was against Safarova, (who had just been at the FO final) and the female coms. were being so negative about her, clearly didn't like her. She went on to win the match and reach the QF's. As soon as the tide started to turn, they backtracked on everything they said and looked like proper idiots.

All in all still a pretty good year from Serena, 3 grand slam finals, one semi final.
Still incredibly dominant on tour, pretty confidant she will stay in the top 5 for a good number of years yet, and she'll still easily pass MC and SG's records if she goes on for another 3-5 years. |

I agree, it's arguably the worst way to lose.

I had a feeling in my mind Karolina could win that. I've been rooting for this tournament and hope she can pull it off!

Would be interesting to know who is considered more obnoxious on Tour Siegemund or Coco. Still I don'y mind all adds to the entertainment. All those American flags for an American loser, shame. |
