Nothing really worked for Ree today. Nothing was really 'on.' Plus she seemed indecisive at times.

For her to title here, the field will have to under perform.

Happy she's playing dubs because she sure needs the practice.

For her to title here, the field will have to under perform.
What are you talking about????#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Didn't you see Serena adjust to Barty's slices, get down low to flip them back?#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#In the first set, she couldn't touch Barty. Everything Barty touched turned gold: the serve, the return, the slices. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Serena had to raise her level, figure out Barty's game and beat her in the rallies. In tennis, if you can't adjust, you are toast. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Again, Serena was superb overall. She found the solution to her problem without talking to her coach.#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#As I said before, only Muguruza has the game to challenge her here.&nbsp; The rest will put up a great fight, like Pliskova and Barty, but it won't be enough.#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Worked from home today so I can watch this match LIVE: No regret. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Awesome Serena soldiers on!!!#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#span class="postbody"#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#

I expect her to beat Gorges but Pliskova Sr. or Maria?

#ed_op#/span#ed_cl#Sharapova's been broken multiple times by anyone. How many times is she going to lose serve against Serena? And how many times is she going to break the Queen of Wakanda's serve? #ed_op#/div#ed_cl#Once you have the answers to these questions, you know the result of that encounter. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Not even sure Pova can beat Ka.Pliskova.

I think Barty outlined the blueprint above for toppling Ree. Which player will execute for 2 sets, that's the question.

That blueprint is not new. They all know.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#It's one thing to talk about it; it's another to execute it. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#And by the way, while they are pouring over their blueprint, Serena is going over hers to.. :)#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#

Still effective. Ree was out of sorts in the first.
