Serena/Kim: WHO YA GOT? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**asSexate** · 10-10-2009, 01:44 AM

The marquee match in the womens' semis tomorrow feature two former #1s, former USO Champions, and two women who are both currently riding a 12 match winning streak at the US Open.

Serena, the Number 1 player in the world Number 2 player in the WTA rankings, and defending champion. Usually has one or so dodgy matches in the early rounds, and then finds her groove on her way to invincibility in the late rounds. Didn't do that this go round. Instead, she has played lights out tennis from Match #1. Yet to drop a set, yet to even face a set point against her.

Kim. Oh, who else beleives Jada was adopted, and Mrs. Lynch has just been hiding out at some tennis club in Bree, playing daily and awaiting her moment? Takes 2 and a half years off, and comes back and gets to the semis of a Slam in her third tournament. Anyone else remember the last time Kim's third tournament back required her to play 7 matches to win a title?

This surface is favorable to both of their games. Their first meeting happened here 10 years ago last Saturday (a match I attended, as all of you have heard far too many times over the years). Kim served for the match. And we all know what happened. And what happened when they met on hard court again. And again. And again.

Serena ahead in the career h2h 7-1. Serena is 7-0 on hardcourts, 2-0 at Slams.

Is this truly a different Kim? And even if it is, will it matter?

**asSexate** · 10-10-2009, 01:48 AM

ah, what the heck. It's not like I have money on the match. Mrs. Lynch in three glorious sets that make all of us so freakin' grateful she decided to come back .

**BamSaitinypap** · 10-10-2009, 01:49 AM

I'm hoping for a great match, but my mind says Serena in two (maybe one straightforward set, one tight set).

**urbalatte** · 10-10-2009, 02:00 AM

Serena in 3. Serve and Serena's mentality will be the difference.

**b7RKli4l** · 10-10-2009, 02:08 AM

I love Kimee. I'm so glad to see her back and playing so well. But...

Serena in 2.

**enurneAcourdy** · 10-10-2009, 02:09 AM

I could see Serena losing the first set. But, she will win in 3.

**blackjackblax** · 10-10-2009, 02:11 AM

Serena in 2

**Ikhqgvas** · 10-10-2009, 02:13 AM

Serena in two tight sets.

**CicyHannyCeli** · 10-10-2009, 02:16 AM

Serena in 2 sets.

**CtEkM8Vq** · 10-10-2009, 02:17 AM

Serena in three, but I really, really, really would love Kim to win!

**payporanymn** · 10-10-2009, 02:38 AM

I think mom-clijsters might have a more winning and less choking attitude (call it perspective of motherhood) and besides, with here retrieving she can make Serena hit one too many balls.

Kim in 2. If this goes 3, it's Serena's.

**SannyGlow** · 10-10-2009, 02:40 AM

My gut and mind say Serena in 2, and they rarely agree.

**gardenerextraordinaire** · 10-10-2009, 02:41 AM

I voted Serena in 2. But I'll be rooting for Kim because she beat Venus (and Venus was 1 point away from extending it), I like her, and I think it will make things more interesting going into Melbourne.

**Hftqdxpm** · 10-10-2009, 02:55 AM

Serena in 2.

And only because I want her to destroy Kim so badly she retires again. She wasn't missed.

**allvideO** · 10-10-2009, 04:41 AM

Serena in 2 by a score of 6-1 7-5

**Gubocang** · 10-10-2009, 04:56 AM

ah, what the heck. It's not like I have money on the match. Mrs. Lynch in three glorious sets that make all of us so freakin' grateful she decided to come back .

Go Dina!

Don't worry. She's gone.

**asSexate** · 11-09-2009, 01:40 PM

Don't worry. She's gone.

She didn't, by chance, take Hillary Swank and Sally Field with her?
