Though I will say that Aga had her chances in the first set.
I posted this on TF but it will make sense here too

Just finished watching the HL, Serena is fine if she does two things well
1) Have a high 1st serve percentage OR win ~50% of second serves
2) Win a good chunk of Keys' second serve points (~40%)
Aga was literally a sitting duck. The whole second set she was just pushing the ball up the middle hoping Keys would self destruct as per usual. She didn't, she stood her ground and fired at Aga like she was part of the firing squad . Aga actually did well moving her in the first set. When she did, Keys' depth wasn't as good and Aga either finished off the short balls or came to the net. She doesn't have the firepower to end the point herself so that's why she didn't win that first set with that strategy but Serena is a different animal. Keys will not be standing in the middle just unloading like that unless Serena refuses to use her angles. Aga's second serve was also killed which is why it's important for Serena to either have a high 1st percentage (id say roughly 70% or more, which is unlikely) or get a slight majority of her second serve points (winning 30% won't cut it). If she does that she will get broken no more than three times this match (and that's being generous). All in all, move her around and take your openings. That's it
. But for now we gotta hope Fognini ****s Cilic up quick and Venus wins easily as well
Mess, I was hoping I'd at least see Venus before I have to go out at 2.
