I am surprised Pliskova said that stuff about Serena. Maybe it is a language problem.

It is imo the final.... a bit like US Open 2007 where the QF between Serena and Henin was the real final....

Whoever wins tonight deserves to win this Slam.
That did not look like the final. Pliskova with no serve stands no chance against one of the best returners.

To be just, Vee and Ree said similar things as teens taking on the establishment. It's a little unfair for the press to pile on so much pressure on the the shoulders of an upstart. Of course, Pliskova is neither a teen nor an upstart and should be closer to winning a GS by now if her game is as amazing as she suggests, particularly as she's ranked much higher than Ree and hasn't taken off a year to have a baby and undergo surgeries.

She has a sharp tongue in interviews. She and Coco are sworn enemies. She once said their names should not be mentioned in the same sentence as her game is more complex than Coco's.

Plus don't forget that she and her sister were touted as the next WS. That surely hasn't and will never come to fruition. That fact must annoy.
