    Any reasons to not take Williams -6.5?
    She's been absolutely beasting lately, winning games with 6-1, 6-1 and totally showing that she's levels above her opponents. Those players she destroyed lately aren't really scrubs either (Sharapova, Cibulkova, Kirilenko, Navarro Suarez).

    Halep played a very tough 3-setter yesterday too against JJ. I watched the last set of the match and she looked drained and ready to collapse at any minute when the match was at 5-5. Also, I don't think Halep should've advanced because JJ choked big time, being up 2 breaks in the 3rd set.

    Any thoughts about this? Surely Williams should be able to cover the -6.5 against a fatigued Halep? I don't know why but something's keeping me from pulling the trigger.

    Probably hard to pull the trigger cuz at the end of the day its still a WTA match...and no matter how dominant Williams is, even a slight moment of bad tennis will kill the spread. For instance Serena was on a ridic. run in Madrid and pretty much ran over everyone but somehow dropped a set 0-6 in there vs Garrigues. You just never know when these clowns will hit a rough patch and it only takes a game or two of it to kill spreads like this.

      Played that and the under.. I really like Halep, but she was struggling badly fitness wise yesterday, she's played a lot of games and I can see Serena absolutely destroying that fatigued serve.

      Worried, as it is the WTA, but BOL.

        She could pose a real threat in the 1:st, which is my only worry to be frank.

          Should've played this but layed off because my bookie moved the line to -7.5 and also cuz as you guys said, at the end of the day it's still a WTA match. :/ congrats to all serena backers. She's definitely on a whole other level now compared to the others.
