I see nothing Maria can do to beat her, other than Serena imploding with errors. And you know Serena would never let that happen against Maria.
It just sucks a lot of the fun out of watching women's tennis when you know Serena is always waiting. As scintillating as the Vika win was yesterday, we barely had 24 hours to enjoy it before reality hit again.

Well said.
As Maria said, it took her a long while to figure out how to beat Henin and then she went out and did it more than once.
Don't count Maria out, she will find a way to beat Serena, either in 2013 or later.
