Serena leads H2H 1-0
I just got finished watching Serena play Mara Santangelo at Wimby 05, and it was no easy feat. Mara destroyed Serena in the 1st set 2-6. Mara hits hard and flat. She likes going down the line on the backhand side. Serena had a very hard time reading her 1st serves. When Serena fed Mara a slice or heavy shot Mara typically commited an error. Mara doesn't like off pace stuff. Mara loved feeding off of Serena's pace, and used it against Serena to hit some great winners. All in all, Serena will have to move well if she wants to win in straights. Serving a high percentage of 1st serves is crucial. Because Mara was ripping Serena's 2nd serves. Any opinions?
