I know what you mean... Perhaps its just that she's trying to peak at the right time rather than at Brisbane like last year.

I watched the third set. She was lucky that Lucie "blinked" during the tie-break. Serena played sloppy tennis. Her feet were going in one direction while her body was going in the opposite direction. I know that this is an expo but the quality of her tennis has been very poor.
