The Brisbane curse continues. MLB (Lucic-Baroni) dismisses commentators pick Pliskova in 3 sets. Congrats Mirjana! :clap

First blood to Serena. Takes the opener 6-2

 

[tossip]

Serena s game has deteriorated to an alarming level...the end is neigh

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Serena's first serve % is abysmal;

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I don't think her game has deteriorated that badly. Her second serve is no longer as lethal as it once was and her ground game isn't as consistent as it used to be, but she is still deadly. Still, any slams that she plans on winning though she better do this year because I can see the dip you are talking about and it is only going to get harder with age.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

The thing that will keep Serena in play is first strike tennis that first serve and return.

 

[kskate2]

Serena's first serve % is abysmal;

And yet despite all that she's serving for the match and closes it in straights

 

[GameSetAndMath]

When serving for the match, her serve was quality. :clap

Now we have two Williamses and two unseeded players in the semis. uzzled

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I hope Serena takes AO. She usually plays better when she gets a slam under her belt early. If not Serena, hopefully Venus can win one more.

 

[tossip]

babyrena yay!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In mixed doubles all seeds are gone, except for seeds 1(BMS & MB) and 2 (Sania and Dodig). Unseeded Paes and Martina are still in the mix. QFs to be played now.
