What amazes me most is it's two Italians in the final...two at the end of their careers pretty much...it'll be a nice win for either of them

(72,790 posts)I am a huge Serena fan but pretty stoked for Pennetta and Vinci, who both pulled off big upsets. Hats off to both of them. Should be a great final.

(56,177 posts)She creamed Halep and I thought Petra might win it all and she beat her, too. Who would thought.

(72,790 posts)Great tournament. I didn't think Petra could go the distance coming off being sick for much of the summer.
I thought Halep and Azarenka would be Serena's only threats but what do I know. Lol

(56,177 posts)Muted, of course. Azarenka was hitting hard and good and moving well...I thought she might finally come through that side of the draw.

(72,790 posts)She is almost there, almost back to what she was, but something's still missing. I can't stand Azarenka but her playing well is good for the game.

(56,177 posts)They really need more depth...Screamapova has several slams, but she's nowhere any of the greats...it's not like you went from maragret Court and BIll Jean to Chris and Martina and then Steffi...all with lots of overlaps between their playing years.

(72,790 posts)Is more exciting than the men's. I would love to see Marin and Stan advance to the final.

(56,177 posts)And while I think Stan could beat Roger today, I don't think he'll also then beat either of the other two.
