That's correct.I think so too. If she could serve at 55-60%, she would be unbeatable!
She served in the 60s and even in the 70s in the first week of Wimledon last year. Her serve started to crumble in the second week (specifically against Hantuchova) and it had gone bad against Mauresmo. So basically, she can serve in the high percentages, but it's a question of whether she can hold it up.That's correct.
The only thing I am worried about her is her 1st serve.
If she could do it at 60-65%, she could win both wimbledon and USOpen last year.
Didn't she change her service motion between Wimby & the US Open last year? Hasn't seemed to get as many 1st serves in since that time...but her 2nd is just really great.She served in the 60s and even in the 70s in the first week of Wimledon last year.

Yup, true, but I don't think the first serve percentage has generally changed. She has always tended to serve in the 50s. I think her serving in the first week of wimbledon last year was exceptional even for her previous serving motion.Didn't she change her service motion between Wimby & the US Open last year?

Yeah, and in any case, I think her actual biggest weakness has been her nerves in the slam finals. Even just a tad at the French, but in a huge way at the other 3 last year.Yup, true, but I don't think the first serve percentage has generally changed. She has always tended to serve in the 50s.

I don't think her nerves did her in, but it does have to do with her mind. It seems like if she has ANY little injury that she's worried about, it really gets in her head and prevents her from playing freely. This has been the case in the last couple of US Opens in particular.Yeah, and in any case, I think her actual biggest weakness has been her nerves in the slam finals.
