Lets go Li Na

The Goddess already puttin in that work with her first serve

 

[champcruthik]

TV feed came back just in time for this semi.

Also pulling for Li Na, although I believe she loses in straight sets.

 

[Sinner]

Nerves... 

 

[champcruthik]

Tough early break conceded.

Even harder point to lose just now for a chance at 0-30 to break back.

 

[eiddyfouw]

 

[Sinner]

Nothing but net for Li right now... very tight.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Serena coming with authority....

 

[mfreshm]

Serena with multiple aces ...

 

[Sinner]

I think she's only had 1 actually.

A bunch of unreturnables though.

 

[champcruthik]

In Li Na's dream world, this set would be 2-1 in her favor. A break up.

 

[Sinner]

Too many errors. 

  She's much better than this.

 

[champcruthik]

She's hitting the net far too often.

Tight nerves. Can't allow frustration to creep in.

 

[Sinner]

FH's a mess... timing's all off. 

 

[mfreshm]

Serena covering entire court well. Li continues to hit net.

 

[champcruthik]

This will be a short match if Li Na doesn't wake up quick to start the second set.

 

[Sinner]

This is pathetic. I can deal with her losing this, but not this way... 

And respectfully, Serena didin't win that set... Li lost it. 

 

[champcruthik]

Seems impossible for her to recover and rally in the second.

Double faults, shots well long, shots into the net, missing volleys.

 

[heliumclinton]

Yo Serena is seeming unstoppable .. damn !! 3 straight 6-0 sets? :x she's getting better as she gets older it's scary definitely going to make it my business to see her before she retires

I hope her body holds out, for Graff's record. I think it will be impossible, but it would be a wonderful sight to see if she can really challenge that record...

 

[champcruthik]

Vika's form in this tournament doesn't indicate Serena is going down in the final. Although I'd like to see that.

Get well soon, Masha.

 

[Sinner]

YES, SHE'S ON THE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Small victories. 

 

[champcruthik]

Please break here.

 

[Sinner]

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

[mfreshm]

Maybe li can get some momentum now
