I gave up on her beating Serena, or even Vika. But the ONLY thing I really want her to do is defend a slam. Even Princess defended her AO title. But a Moo fans can only dream every two years. Welp, topic now is on Papi for tomorrow. Hopefully he makes us proud and saves the tennis from the evil Lemur.
I thought I was the only one who loved checking Wikipedia pages of players and looking at their Slam section

Serena is almost filling up the entire space And then I look at Moo's, and I go in comparison.
The gamesmanship Cheaterapova displayed on court today was Nadal-level obnoxious, and ironically she didn't even need it. She was serving MUCH better in the few games where she didn't take nearly a minute between serves.
Such an unspectacular outcome for probably the most bizarre RG main draw in the Open Era. With all the players who could've stopped her - Serena, Ana, Na, Dominika - out in early rounds, it was like all the stars aligned for her to vulture yet another RG.
Well the sunnier/hotter it is, the better the conditions for Nadal.
Normally players struggle in heat, but for some odd reason Nadal kicks an extra gear in heat
