Great Womans Final: Serena vs Sharpova

[jjgold]

Classic

I think even though Sharp is better she will choke.

I like Williams in this match as well coach.

Serena can move up all the way from the 95th ranking in the world to 14th if she wins this tourney.

Serena made me a nice wad of cash throughout this tourny as a u-dog in most matches. Wound up with even odds on her in beating Vaidisova yesterday. Early line:

Serena +200
Sharapova -250

I think that line will move a bit before the final. I give an edge to Sharapova in that unlike Vaidisova who Serena just beat, she's got both youth and experience on her side. She won't be intimidated and Serena's fitness is still a question.

All that being said, with the line where it is now - you have to take Serena.

There would be too much grunting and shrieking in that match for me to stomach.

[jjgold]

Sharpova is the best player in the world no doubt, if she wins this it will be a long year for the rest of the players as she is very ready to dominate the game. I do not see many threats out there either except Serena is she stays in shape.

[Tchocky]

I'm rooting for the Gorilla. Both of these girls have played absolutely dreadful tennis throughout the tournament and they should both consider themselves lucky to be in the final. I can't wait for Justine Henin to come back.

A lot of doubt on that comment IMHO.

[jjgold]

Who is better?

[moses millsap]

Justine.

Can't stand Sharapova and her robot-like game, but I'd be surprised if she lost. Earlier post about her dominating this year looks right on. The only players that can beat her are older and always injured. How many times will they show the dad in the stands (for both players).

[althelegend]

Have you guys been watching this. Sharapova has been outclassing her opponents, and williams will find she is up against a superior opponent in much the same way Roddick discovered against Federer

[Razz]

I'd be stunned if Serena won a set.

[hanco21]

yep, Beauty vs the beast.

[tacomax]

That was over quickly, then.

[tacomax]

[Razz]

Wow.

[bigboydan]

Talk about dominance by Serena in this finals match! Williams seemed really mad every time Sharapova even won a set. I doubt we will get the value on Serena like we did in this tourney the of this year.

[Seattle Slew]

Very surprised The Robot was defeated, but glad Serena kicked her ass. Nice to see Maria's dad go home a loser as well.

[jjgold]

She looked awesome and in perfect shape. She l;ooks like she is back.

[onlooker]

I guess it wasnt such a great final. Did Sharpova even have a chance in that match?

No chance at all in this match looker. This match was your typical woodshed type job sorta speak.

[Mudcat]

I don't really give a rat's ass about the match but I did enjoy taco's photo essay.

Yeah, I watched a little bit of it, but I seen Serena was dominating the match so I just turned it.
