Ok sorry I even said anything SIlverSlam. Obviously, I am stupid and don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
I'll just shut the fuck up.

Although Plexicushion was supposed to be slightly faster than the old Rebound Ace, players have complained that it is actually a bit slower. The ball still bounces higher than a normal hardcourt though and it is considered to be a medium speed hardcourt.

I'm glad we came to an understanding 
No I'm kidding, I get what you're saying, we just have different opinions, thats all.

Oh God! I remember people saying that Istanbul was Rebound Ace (just like AO 07 and before) and it looked slower than how AO courts are playing now

That's still half of the number of slams she played AO on this surface. I say that's pretty damn good

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
My quasi-fiction, half-serious theory about the Maria-Serena history of matches is that the turning point in Serena's favor was when Maria blew two match points in the AO 2005 semifinal.
That would have made three consecutive victories for Maria, all of them in major tournaments and I somehow think it would have left more confidence in Maria that she can seriously challenge Serena any time (who, by the way, did not win another title until.....AO 2007).
It's a pure conjecture, clearly.....

i wanted so much they both would have met in that 4th round of AO 2006, but Hantuchova captured a huge scalp in her career (which was great for her) beating Serena, but i remember that i wanted Serena to win because she would play Maria next round and i knew that Daniela was not going to beat Maria

This is the Australian Open thread. I'd say discussing other players/matches during this tournament is fair game. 
Gotta keep the Siberian Siren tradition of never staying on topic turning every and any thread into a chat thread being a communicative bunch alive.
