Errani takes Vika's WC in Auckland, don't know if Vika'll show up in Australia, it seems very complicated for her

Will Vika play AO? I hope she does, but won’t be surprised if she backs out because of her son. She may never be an elite player again.
Vika getting way too much grief for a sperm donor.

I heard Serena didn’t play too well..did you see it KS
I saw most of it (set 2 and the super TB). She's timing the ball well w/ her groundies, but the serve is slow and her movement looked pretty putrid. If she can tighten up those 2 aspects in the next few weeks, she can get to the 2nd week of Aus.

Thanks KS..Serena will not win the title without her hammer..the serve.. it will come back..it’s a matter of confidence

she was just rusty..she needs more matches thats all...
That makes sense.. I think it will be paramount for Patrick and Robbie to settle Serena”s nerves..Serena needs something to make her edgy...

Her movement sucked out there yesterday and she's still a few pounds over optimum weight but I'll cut her some slack since she just had a kid.

Serena will get her "happy feet " back when she gets that big rear end behind that hammer serve ..her movements will improve with her confidence

Robbie is no longer her hitting partner. He is with Bouchard now.
