I have pre-selected a couple of matchups that could be really tough for my fav at the Aus Open and done Keys to Success.

Serena v. Venus h2h 9-9
Serena
high first serve percentage
attack VW forehand

use defensive lob

Venus

get to the net OFTEN


Venus v. Jelena h2h 4-5
Jelena
break down Williams forehand
extend rallies
hit behind Williams
force Williams to create her own pace

Venus
high first serve percentage
attack JJ serve
cut down on errors; wait for opportunity to hit winner
stay calm and ignore dramatics

in their last match in Doha, Venus sent every ball she could to JJ's forehand (which was especially bad that day). She did that in Stuttgart too, but in this match, I had an impression JJ was playing only forehands.
