2018 year of Maria SharapovaSerena 6-2 6-2 is my Prediction in the PredictionGame. It could be worse. 6-1 6-0 like at the London Olympics. Serena is ON. The serve, the return, the ground strokes.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#She only made 3 UE in the first set. and 12 for the whole match. She was taking care of a her shots.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Julia hit 11 aces but that was not enough. Kris Pliskova had 15 aces and bunch of services winners. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Serena has faced better servers in every match so far. They hit 29 aces against her mighty returns in those 3 matches. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Sharapova had no big serve to worry about. Only 5 aces hit her service boxes. There was no one to hurt her. (Pliskova was a shadow of herself. I heard she was ill. She only had 1 ace. when is the last time that happened????)#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#Against Serena, Sharapova will have more Double Faults than aces and service winners combined. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Go Serena! #ed_op#br#ed_cl#You got to figure out Muguruza on clay. That's now the main problem to solve in Paris. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Jun Sat 02, 2018 9:17 pm, edited 3 times in total.

Well, a slim chance for Maria to win the French Open for the first* time *: Meldonium-enhanced slams do not count in my book.... but that is my personal opinion, of course...
