Kerber is just a passive moonballer who has gotten lucky with her draws. Errani, meanwhile, works hard and has more variety than that Kirby Kerbster.
Errani is better than Kerber

UMMMM.........Hell no! Kerber is in the top ten with good results at the major and at the premier events not like Errani and her 10 different international events.

Sara has only won four international events.
Plus...
Errani's slam results: QF, F 3R, SF
Kerber's slam results: 3R, QF, SF, 4R- not to mention she lost to Sara herself in two majors this year.

Kerber is not the best match up against Errani.
AO: Errani didn't play a seeded player until the QF while Kerber lost to Masha.
FO: Yes, Errani did beat her but Errani's best surface is CLAY!! four international events
W: SF for Kerber and golden set against Errani. Enough said.
US: Long Match and Kerber was probably tired. Great US open series with many tough wins and matches, Errani nothing!
Kerber can beat Serena, Errani can't even beat Serena in her dreams.

That's not reflected in their last two meetings.
Reaching the QF is pretty good for someone who is supposedly useless on hardcourts. And your statement is incorrect; Petrova was seeded in Melbourne.
So you're taking credit away from someone for having the ability to play well on a particular surface? cool :lol:
Kerber wouldn't have done much better against Shvedova. And when she got to that SF, Radwanska completely toyed with her.
Excuses, excuses. Sara brought her best when it mattered most, Kerber didn't
Did you see Serena in Cincinnati? She clearly didn't give a shit, anyone in the top 30 could have beaten her. :lol:
Clay is Errani's best surface and she had a great RG, no surprise she beat Kerber. You have no idea how well Kerber would have done against Shvedova. First of all, it's a different matchup and Kerber certainly would have at least hit back some deep defensive shots to unsettle Shvedova instead of doing nothing in rallies like Errani did in the first. Also, I'm 99.9% sure Kerber would have at least won one point in each set
Serena always comes out and competes, tired of hearing this crap about how she loses on purpose whenever it's close to a slam. She's not perfect, she can have a semi-off day and Kerber played quite well within herself contrary to most other girls who would have choked at some point. Anyone in the top 30 could have beaten Serena that day? :lol: Laughable. Kerber's just the better player so far. I like Errani's grit and variety but she'll have to spice up her game if she wants to take it to the next level.

Petrova....Sharapova?????? SHARAPOVA!
I never took credit away from Errani. She's good on clay and I expected her to do good on the clay in Paris. She should have been Kerber on clay.
Kerber would have at least got a point and Errani would have lost to Radwanska much worse.
At the end of it, Kerber can win against the top player or a least challenge them on a regular basis. Errani can't.
Plus this will be settled in Istanbul when the top players play.

It's got to be Errani.
Who cares if Kerber beat Serena in Cinci? Serena always plays awful there and doesn't care.

Errani is playing better than Kerber. But, IMHO, Errani is playing close to her potential, and Kerber has no idea what her potential even is. There is a greater reservoir of tennis talent in Kerber. WHether she'll evetr figure out how to tap it on demand ......

I can see Kerber improving her serve, but I think she's doing about as well as she ever will in her career.
She could get fitter, but she's already fast, strong, great on the run, and good in 3 set matches.
She's missing the huge weapon to win a major. When was the last time we saw a top grinding player truly develop a solid shot into a bona fide weapon?

You keep saying that :lol: The Wimbledon SF between Kerber and Radwanska came down to Radwanska's 78% 1st serve to Kerber's 56%. That's it.

As if Kerber's serve is a weapon :lol:
Fact is, Sara and Angie met twice in majors this year which is where players bring their best; Sara didn't lose a set in either meeting.

She has good placement and slice on her first serve and grass helps make it more pacey, she won 79% of 1st serve points in that SF compared to 44% on her 2nd, 65% to 44% against Venus in the Olympics, then against a monstrous returner like Azarenka, 48% to 37%. She had an awful serving day against Radwanska, her 1st serve was 70% and above throughout Wimbledon, and also against Venus and Azarenka in the Olympics.
They should not be compared cause they are actually very different players even though they look alike for this reason.
1. Errani has a better return - Kerber has a better serve
2. Errani handles no pace balls well - Kerber doesn't handle no pace balls
3. Errani gets blown away by big shot players - Kerber absorbs pace well
Though they are both grinders they do things differently.
