New Slam Year, Old Rulers
And the lioness prowls on the Serengheti.......once again. Gazing proudly over the cliff at what she serbeys and she doenst see much. Just some rabbits, giraffes and zebras. All make for an interesting viweing but do not challenge her ownership of the jungle.
Thats what Serena is like. Sharapova challenged her in the first set that stretched to 57 minutes and I thougth that was a sign of promising 2nd set. But no such luck. The fearsome Russian lost the set tamely at 1-6. So complete is Serena's dominance and is is exactly like the rabbit who actually escaped her grip becasue she was just not interested.
Now what next for Serena? Will there be a contender? A new face? Will it be Konta? Kerber? Azarenka? or Chineses firepower in form of Shuai Zhang? No, no and no again. It will have to be a maverick, a player that comes from nowhere and lifts the trophy. It will have to be a situation where Serena just doesnt know what hit her. It will have to be a situation where the match is stretched to three sets and Serena is digging deep to counter the players' game.
Yes thats the one we are looking for, as yet a nameless and a faceless entity.
Meanwhile, Queen Serena, we bow to thee. Your rule will continue unchallenged barring those loose incidents where you defeat yourself.

Meanwhile Britain's Johanna Konta continues her dream run in R4. She is a set down against Makarova but leads by four games to two in the second set.
whats the status of AO after R$ is almost done with
QF- Djokovic meets Nishikori- the outcome depends on Nishikori, whether he is able to stretch his game to fit in Novak's skier's slide and mental bandwidth. Kei has the game for sure.
R4- Murray meets Tomic- Is a no brainer, Murray will win at the most will gift Tomic a set
QF- Federer meets Berdych- Berdych wins in 4
QF- Monfils meets Raonic- I am betting on MOnfils
R4- Ferrer meets Isner- Ferrer wins in 4 andm sets up QF clash with Murray.
