I watched her match last night...Savannah, so true. I watched her match last night on TC and I have to say that I was very impressed with her fight and her ability to battle out there. What I saw was the Serena of old. She put everything behind her. During the tie-break I could already see her focus heading into the third set. It was the first time I was seeing Klara and while she has a good BHDTL, I think Serena's desperation more than anything else helped her to gain confidence as the match progressed. Winning is well and truly a habit and if you start losing matches, then you do get into the habit of losing. As such, it was essential for Serena to win that match as it reminded her of the joys of winning and the fact that she is Serena Williams and as such should be winning this particular match. Great write up by the way.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-5929173256942063812009-05-27T00:27:50.789-05:002009-05-27T00:27:50.789-05:00Serena was a true force of pure will and belief to...Serena was a true force of pure will and belief today!

Her ...It was a down and dirty win by Serena today. Her strange passivity during matchpoints worried me some, but she fought her way through. Sometimes a good fight is what you need to know you're there, that you can fight through the next round and the next. That she and Venus picked up racquets again for doubles later in the evening is... well, I'm a bit struck but in a good way. Fading light interrupted their play but I was encouraged by what I saw. <br /><br />Andy has frustrated me in recent years with his tinkering because I think he can tinker too much. Every new coach has a new perspective which is great, but Andy seems to subsume his entire game for that new perspective shucking the good along with the bad. Then, whenever he's stuck or losing, he falls back on every bad habit or strategy he ever picked up during their tenure. This new coach though, seems to be a very good fit. I don't think we'll see the same 'doing great for a month thing, then a drop off' now. They fit well and the tactics and strategies, the way he's encouraged Andy to think out there has been very, well, encouraging. I've been impressed by how he's played, although he still gets headcase-y around Federer. I still don't think he gets passed Djokovic or Federer, whomever is in his quarter, but I'd feel comfortable betting money he goes deep.sGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078504555782229264noreply@blogger.com
