I wanted Petrova to beat Williams. I didn't really enjoy that match to be honest. Blah, I guess that Petrova just needs more practise. But damn, she sure gets moody when things don't work out for her! (I don't blame the girl...I would have probably flipped out too).

The first set was pretty intense, but then it all went downhill from there. I was hoping that Serena's knee injury would have slowed her down a lot more. :(

I dont know if its all about needing more practice. But I must admit, more experience against big players in the Grand Slams would help her with her nerves and make closing easier.

I think her loss here was more about Serena stepping up here game, as she would sooooo often do when down and seemingly on her way out. When it comes down to crunch time, Serena has an amazing, and fairly consistent ability (in the past) to step up to the plate and really improve her game incredibly. And thats whut Serena did here.

She was only facing a match point against Petrova bc her game was sloppy. She was making all kinds of unforced errors. Serena was losing the match for herself, I feel, more so than Petrova was the reason she was losing.

Agreed. She looks kinda intimidated when she plays, and that really affects her skills. She has potential and I know she can do better, but she just has to step up a bit, and not let her opponents slow her down.
