With no warm ups planned, I don't see how Serena can defend the US Open.

Is she playing the Pilot Pen?

She hasn't officially entered yet, and Yahoo is saying she's out until the US Open

It's not like the Williams sisters have always prepared for tournaments before they won. Venus almost had no preparation for Wimby 2000. Not much tournament play anyway. If anyone will make Serena pay for little preparation it will be Venus.

yea...but Serena seems to struggle more with long lay offs. I think of the Australian. She played terrible the entire event, except for the finals. She still won...but I get the feeling players aren't as intimidated as they were in January.

I dunno. I just have a bad feeling. I hope she's healthy for the Open

Actually I have had this bad feeling also, but it was about the Acura. I couldn't get it out of my head that Serena was going to be upset at that tournament. But at the US Open I think she will be ready.

You have more faith then I do. It will be odd having Serena not the #1 seed either.

Hopefully Venus is healthy.
