Actually if Kerber beat Venus at the Olympics then that was a lucky win tbh. Venus had set points in the first and served for it like twice in the second before losing in 2 tiebreaks. If Kerber's defense is on though, Venus will have to be powerfully accurate to have a chance.

Kerber is really fit, she's just played too many matches this year and ran out of steam during the Cincy final. She pulled out of Dallas so she should be fresh enough for this tournament, I don't think fatigue will be a factor. She's still not used to playing at a top level, so next year she'll need to schedule herself better. Radwanska is also paying the price of playing too much. I can't believe she didn't withdraw from New Haven.
Looking forward to the Venus Kerber match. It's a shame they have to play each other so early in the draw.
