Girl get out of there and get ready for the Olympics. I say either tankrena shows up or homegirl gets a walkover from Serena. The only thing that throws a monkey in this wrench is Serena doing well in last year's US Open series. Therefore, she may not want to totally "tankrena" so as to not affect her ranking too bad.

congrats China I mean Chani on your 1st Premiser SF

Serena beat Scheepers in Brisbane pretty easily while playing at about 50%. She'll keep playing Stanford as long as she doesn't need to do more than that.

I agree with this.

 

[In The Zone]

Serena beat Scheepers in Brisbane pretty easily while playing at about 50%. She'll keep playing Stanford as long as she doesn't need to do more than that.

And she'll survive the semifinals playing at 50%. If she is in the final, she will think - might as well - and defend the title.

Don't forget, she knows she needs to garner some points to get the year-end #1. Remember she said she had a ranking goal and wouldn't tell anyone what it was? Just saying .......

If the matches get tight, she'll up her game. If the matches are easy, she'll continue to "walk" to her shots. :lol:

 

[Rolling-Thunder]

I don't believe she flew 5000 miles to tank. She intends and should make the final. She should win the whole think!

 

[JamieMU30]

Was she really "walking" to shots? :haha: This tournament is such a joke...Such a weak field for a Premier...Serena can get an easy 470 points for winning this ITF quality tourney, so why tank?

 

[shoryuken]

Which is why she hasn't withdrawn. She can win with one leg and one hand tied behind her back :lol:

 

[Maddox]

Nah, Serena knows she can get the title playing 20%
