Petra is missing too much FHs I was convinced she's got the first set, not that sure anymore...
that slice 4-4!

I'm not trying to change the facts, just explaining why is her shoulder rotation almost nonexistent, all the other things are things she can work on, as I agreed with Abel before
As long as her serve is not a complete disaster like Errani's or Radwanska's and gives her an advantage I don't understand why she should change her movement even if it's annoying. We know that Maria is not comfortable with changes.

I didn't mean it's annoying, what I was trying to say is that if she changed/worked on the ball toss and better timing her serve would be even bigger advantage and she wouldn't be making that many DFs

She should practice on them so that the DF coming because a bad timing/toss wouldn't be as common as it is now. However I think that the ones she commits on important moments would still remain because of her mentality of pushing her second serve to the limit.
Maria better keep dragging Kvitova and not let her breathe.
This loss is actually good for Petra, as it will allow her to take another good look at what's weak in her game, and it will make her strengthen weaknesses, and hopefully avenge the losses she's had from Maria. (Like firing David as her coach, because he knows how to screw things over).
No way Berdych is going to even bother him if he keeps playing at the baseline he needs to approach the net way more often and maybe even try some serve and volley whether he likes it or not
6-0 6-2 he showed some mercy when leading 5-0 in the 2nd set and didn't dare to give him a double bagel despite having a match point
And Berdych didn't even play badly, congrats to him for not giving up, keeping it classy and annulling 3 match points

I never said you were trying to change the facts. The injury that caused her serve to undergo changes led to the point where her serve is nowehere near her serve pre injury and it one of the things that is stopping her from being one of the best players that played the game. She's a champion, she's a GS winner, yes, but she could be one of the biggest if it wasn't for that ball toss and non existent shoulder rotation that are direct results of a shoulder injury.
