Watching the women's final now - really great tennis, a pleasure to watch. Can Sharapova hold on to her advantage though?

EDIT: Err... no -she can't.

Serena not playing as well as she did in the semi which is a shame. Good for Maria first time she's taken a set off Serena since 2008

Great match so far, one of the best on the WTA this year in terms of quality and intensity.

Totally agree. I have to admit, I was wrong about Sharapova - she's playing like a goddess out there at the moment!

Really?? I'd say Serena needs to be a few more levels up for it to be considered a great match.

It WAS a great match about 20 mins ago but Serena is not quite there at the moment - she seems to have lost her way.

According to the stats I'm looking at, Serena's up 5-0 with only 27% first serves!

She's won it.
Another amazing stat is that she had 100% break point conversion

Was it me or did the beautiful Sharapova just give up? it was a good match-up until around halfway through the second set and then she just gave up, many times she could of reached the ball and rallied it back but she didn't, she just stopped short :s-smilie:

Nope. I'll say the part that might have let her down is her serve coz it dropped off in the second set and it was working well in the 1st.
She couldn't reach some of those balls because Serena started playing like herself and hitting them really hard and as far away from Maria as she could. Although the 3rd set was a bagel Maria did put up a fight I though

Serena was/is amazing! But Sharapova certainly rose to the occasion and played Serena harder then i had seen her play her in a long time, how that will help/effect her confidence we will have to see in the clay season. Onto the Men's final tomorrow, hoping it's a good one!
