Ok I'm going out on a limb. I think that Sharapova will win(what an upset) and I think that Serena will win in two or three with the injury raddled Azaranka. Serena always beats Sharapova because she is more interested in selling her candy Sugarova. Ok the other side has no one so Serena will win 6-0 6-0 in the final. Wow.
 
Ok Sharovopa is winning because this is the second week of tennis in which the cream comes to the top. There is no drama but the higher trained athlete is winning. Can't wait for Serena and Azarenka. I really respect those two for their commitment to the game.
 
I actually like Serena and Madison to advance. Serena, I believe, has the tougher opponent.
 
Serena , does your right but I don't have a lot of confidence in any of these one hit wonders during a two week tournament. I still feel that Serena is so far ahead of these other players. She could be injured, having a bad day, not on that particular day, wanting to go to three sets for some exercise , etc. (she will not be beaten). There is no other elite woman right now and Serena knows it.

Serena in two 6-3 6-4 my prediction against Azaranka probably the only player that feels they can beat Serena.
 
A Venezuelan-Spaniard has redeemed somewhat the disappearance of Rafa & company this tournament. Twenty-one year old
Gabine Muguruza is the 1st Iberian since the days of Conchita & Aranxa to advance this far. She's earned a semi spot.

And Serena is 2-0 in the decider.
 
Madison Keys is still the future of US tennis, but it's a tad too soon. Ms. Radwanska is in the semis.
Coco too got a set from Maria. Ready yourself for a splendid American presence at the US Open.
Meanwhile Serena is about to serve at 3-1.

getting my blood pressure checked after that Serena match... on to the next. Sharapova may pull off the upset, no pressure
 
I always rate Serena by how she plays Azaranka who really is the only competition for Serena. Serena looked awesome!!!!! Sharapova should be a walk in the park. Serena beat Sharopova 16 straight matches. Sharopova really doesn't compete much anymore she is more interested in her candy promotion while Serena is trying to win at tennis. I think Serena has an easy walk to the U.S. open and one more win for a grand slammer.

The thing about Maria is that she does nothing better than Serena - not serve, return, movement, or ball striking. I'd be surprised if she takes even a set off Serena, unless Serena has a really off day...
 
I thought that Serena's play today was some of the best I have ever seen from her. She was focused and kept her cool. I hope Sasha enjoys talking to Vika about what she can do differently the next time she plays Serena.

Did anyone else find Vika's behavior quite odd toward the end? I have never seen a player be so demonstrative trying to get pumped up and there was almost a sense of desperation and obsession.

That's because, IMHO, Azarenka thinks she's as good as Serena. She was #1 after all, for a bit. She feels she should be able to beat Serena. I don't like Azarenka at all and hope her career goes the way of Nadal's - down fast.

she also had Serena talking to herself like... demonstrative trying to get pumped up and there was almost a sense of desperation and obsession
 
Until late into the 3rd set, when Serena decided she was going to let her SERVE do her talking. She then took over the match. She barely missed on her return of Azarenka's serve just going long, otherwise the 3rd set was no contest.

Just wish all Tennis players would quite the groaning and moaning during matches. Its so distracting.

Most don't talk to themselves when they're winning

Just saw the Williams-Azarenka match; Great, great tennis. Serena had to have her sA game yesterday to beat Azarenka; Just an incredible tennis player.

The quality of play was very high. Azarenka definitely pushed Serena to play her best and Serena was up for the test. I don't think Sharapova has a chance unless Serena completely collapses. Maria doesn't do anything better than Serena so it should be Serena'as match to win.
