Serena withdrew from the French Open because she injured herself in th 3rd of the Doubles' match. Were you watching?
She is not afraid of Sharapova who can't even read her serve when Cornet, Boozkova, Juvan and Osaka can rarely take a guess at where it's going.
This puts Sharapova at a huge disadvantage and Serena is very aware of it.
if Serena is healthy, she is not losing to someone who can't read her serve, even if the opponent swallows 19 pills of undetectable Meldo4.2 Syria Edition.

Vondrousova out... still not recovered from her wrist-issues that started at Wimbledon. Pain apparently came back when starting to practice for the US Open...

That is another one who won't have a long career and/or won't be a consistent contender. Wrist issues at age 20 are imo showing that they possibly prioritised power over technical skills during their junior development... Without a decent wrist, your career is limited (see Clijsters, who could have achieved so much more but lost years due to the wrist-injury/surgery and was forced to play limited schedule afterwards and follow a rigid training program to save the wrist as long as possible)

Rybakina with a potential R3 vs Serena... I like those matches as it somehow reveals the potential of a player.

Sure. 8)

Well, then nothing for you to get excited about.
Just saw on her instagram doing a cartwheel over Venus.
The back appears to be just fine, no excuses, just tennis.

Grossefavourite is absolutely right! if the WTA wants to revitalize Maria on tour, no challenge to her is greater
than Serena. For Maria, the opportunity to play and to defeat anyone else in this draw would not carry the
weight or impact of defeating Serena Williams.

Game on! Good Luck Ladies! :D

Keep in mind, again, that Maria testes positive for dope right after playing Serena in Oz, so Maria has this in mind and no doubt wants to 'prove' she can beat Serena without chemical assistance. Serena, for her part, wants to send her own message, that doped or not, Maria is no match for her is she plays decently.

Hello Ace! It seems that I can no longer take part in the Skan. Looks as if I’m no longer valid here. I would just like to post my picks for the Skan contest. Thanks.

Hi Miss_Vee,
Hummmmm... strange.. If you are able to log on, you should be able to post your team. Some kind of bug it could be.
This link is not working for you? slams/skanteam_submit.php?t_name=2019_USO_SkanCanTest
Can you even get to the page? If yes, are you getting an error?
While I am looking into it, post your team here and I will add it for you.
Thanks.

Yes Ace! I can get to the correct page. As a matter of fact, I did not realize that it was not working since Wimbledon. I thought I had posted my team, but when play started, and I checked to see how the team was doing, it was nowhere to be found. I did nothing about it at the time.
Anyway, I will send you my picks here. I now have to try and remember the names in order....Brb.

Yes, please do. I am sorry your team was missing.
Can you try it and tell me what error your are getting if any? That should help investigate.
Thanks
