Commentators are not sure if Serena will play or where she will play tonight...Scheduled for Court 1, they may move her to Centre Court...not that it matters for the US

yup - up next on Centre court
 
Serena won easily and predictably. Lisicki doesn't have the firepower to hang with Serena, and the bottom half of Serena's quarter is soft now that Kerber is gone. The Radwanska/Na quarter is still tough.
 
believe it or not, missed the match as life pulled me away to tend to biz.....there will be other matches.

I missed it as well. However, if the need to blink, rather than life, had pulled you away from the TV screen, you would have missed it.
 
Serena down a game in the 1st set, on serve... ESPN
 
not lookin good for Serena... but its early!
 
Serena all out of sorts. Meyers lickin his chops........
 
Serena is up two breaks in the second now.

Sloane is down a set.

Man, Li Na or Radwanska could give Serena trouble if Serena makes it to the semis.
 
Up 4-1, Serena's serve is just not hitting right now. If Serena's first serve drops in more, it's lights out. If she stays shaky, she could have problems in the third.
 
Serena takes the second 6-1. That third break was useful because she serves first in the third set.

LOL. (not holding my breath though)

What few games I did see, Serena looked very tight, lots of loop in her groundstrokes, not handling midcourt balls with confidence, not extending fully on her first serve (many first serves clipping the tape or barely clearing the net), etc. etc.

Lisicki was hitting 2nd serve aces..... and running down balls. Didn't see much of the 2nd set where LS apparently had a lot of errors. Credit to LS for turning the tide in the 3rd after being down a break. Not sure I will want to watch the replay online....:oops:
 
It was a surreal match to watch. Serena did not look at all like herself. Sabine Lipiski except for that second set played like she really wanted to win. Congratulations to her!

I almost wrote a few days ago that Serena though winning didn't look comfortable on the grass; as if the game was going too fast and she didn't have time to set herself. Today, she was content to just keep the ball in play much of the time while Lisicky was going for it. And her serve didn't bail her out. First sign of tennis old-age? Seemed much more comfortable on clay.
 
Well, the path just opened up for Sloane Stevens, Li Na, and Radwanska...
