Here she comes.

SP is fist pumping in front of his TV.

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...

You talking about for grand slams? Graf has 22 right? If Serena wins this US Open she only needs 5 more to tie.. I think it's possible

Good thing I'll be in NYC tomorrow for the men's semis. Sipping on different cold beers at Biergarten.

My lady took me to Biergarten a little while ago, amazing and I'm not even a beer fan like that.

 

[champcruthik]

Glad to hear. What did you try?

Yeah I'm thinking about Grand Slams.

I guess time will tell...I really hope she can.

 

[champcruthik]

Better chance than Tiger at this point currently.

 

[Sinner]

Here she comes.

Damn right!  But all muted of course cuz it's like 5:30AM here in HK.

Uh oh... spoke too soon... deuce.

 

[champcruthik]

Must hold serve here. Breaking point to the set potentially.

 

[Sinner]

#&*$ From 40-love too... 

 

[champcruthik]

Can't miss that overhead volley with so much court open.

 

[awwsome]

Glad to hear. What did you try?

Something with Schwarz in the name, hard to remember, they are all very German.

I went to the one in the meatpacking district which one are you going to? Glad we got there early, line gets crazy.

 

[champcruthik]

The one by Brass Monkey? That's where we're going. Old college buddies and our girlfriends.

 

[Sinner]

Winners/Unforced Errors...

8/15 for Serena and 5/18 for Li... ugly all around.  Yikes.

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

**** Gotta catch a plane in a few minutes so unable to watch this. Do I want to watch the replay as a Li Na fan?

 

[champcruthik]

From the end of the first set on, yes.

 

[Sinner]

Now that was a fantastic rally, even though Li lost the point.

So far... 

 

[champcruthik]

Serena: 5/5 break points.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Serena's serve.... :x

When she gets that perfect contact...it just looks too much for her opponents to handle...

 

[champcruthik]

Well, bring on Vika.

Work contact will be in attendance. Lucky guy, and he's not even a major tennis fan.

On the late show with Letterman she said it was unbelievable that she is playing her best tennis now.
Chick looked herculean on the show.
Like she had just finished working out, took a shower, and came on the show.

 

[champcruthik]

Swole. Serena has a permanent workout pump.

 

[Sinner]

That passing-shot... just too good. Another MP.

 

[quell]

Utter domination. Wow.
