Williams-Keys

[AboutThatLife]

The real Serena played last night it wasn't that she bet Cibulkova so badly but it was the type of shots she used to do it - Been waiting all tourney and just like pova they are both raising their game to meet their nemesis in the final.

Under 19.5 -111 (2x)

Thoughts on the match?

[Jerimjob]

Keys is a different player than Cibulkova.
Keys is not as powerful as Serena, but she'll compete more in that aspect.
With her injury though, I can't see her winning.

I'll wait closer to the match to see if there's more news about Keys injury and how she's feeling.

Again you missed my point on the same balls shes been recieving all tourney she had way better angles - could it have been the pressure was off maybe so - See about the injury but it'll effect her movement to her backhand side and best believe Serena like Murray will work that angle.

Doubt you get much news.

[Jerimjob]

Fair enough, but you're going off one match.
Serena also went 3 sets the 2 matches before against Svitolina and Muguruza
If Serena is on mentally, it'll be over quick. But Keys can cause some problems if the injury doesn't affect her.
The under is not a guarantee in my opinion, but with those odds, might pull the trigger on it too

[AboutThatLife]

Never said it was a guarantee crazy thing with betting something could have a 90% chance of winning and still lose. See the thing I'm seeing with both her and Sharapova they are getting sharper as the tournament goes on - I feel she'll be ready tonight.

If she plays well tonight I'll want her in the finals on Saturday.

serena is going to schpank maddy keys
she was fully locked into bad-bitch mode yesterday

[poet]

I like the Serena futures at -138 much better. Especially if Sharapova losses.

[EaglesPhan36]

Betting on injured v. ill, no thanks

[Snowball]

the only question is what will the Pova vs. Serena line be.

[AboutThatLife]

Line I get is -150 not much value in that to me could have taken her at +285 but she wasn't playing to the level I felt necessary in order for me to make a futures bet. I don't have the options you do such as quarters and such.

[PerfectGrape]

Anyone know how Keys injury is doing?

[brodie]

would be funny if both dogs win. kinda like the us open everyone thought it was gonna be fed/djoko, both huge favorites, and both get rocked (though djoko's exit was slightly suspect).

on a realistic note, keys is gonna get only what serena gives her. I can't bet anything with a clear mind other than serena ML as a parlay filler. too unpredictable with women and spreads

[EaglesPhan36]

Anyone know how Keys injury is doing?

Saw a Tweet that says she thinks it feels a little better than yesterday. Still, I wouldn't touch this match with a ten foot pole. In-play really the only way after you see how both are doing. Serena with the illness and Keys with the leg.

[waste1]

i would like to play keys tonight...but injury makes me question my bet a little bit, even though keys played.phenomenal vs venus.

[paco]

Just add serina to every open parlay. Too much power

[mrlif1]

Took the over. One set go beyond game 6 I'll be happy. Someone in here will win.

edit: over 19.5 -105

[Demetrius4UK]

Took Serena -1,5 sets , seems like I will not win it as Serena down a break and she is not in game so far

[jjgold]

Keys is way more powerful than Serena I don't think some of you guys watch tennis

Although she is 13 years younger

[gaebiskon]

i really dont want to see another serena beat down in final vs maria

[gaebiskon]

There is the string of errors

keys is painful to watch
its either a winner or ue

[fitguy67]

a few minutes ago, i i put a unit on keys to win 7...at a "full match for action" book...that way it includes injury/illness/"face covering" insurance...

might provide a nice cheap consolatory hedge for potentially-broken serena parlays

masha future looking good

[fitguy67]

i really dont want to see another serena beat down in final vs maria

you implying a beatdown BY or OF williams?

not being a smartass...actually wonder what you meant

edit: just checked their h2h: Serena 16-2 with many straight-setters...Mr.Sharapova's two wins came in 2004 and only one a straighty...so i see what you meant clearly

____________

we just had Berdy stopping a long long drought against Nadal here...if pova could do something similar in the final, would make this AO memorable

[jjgold]

Keys looks devastating

It is an absolute miracle Serena won the first set

Keys will be the best player in the world

keys, bouchard, garcia, muguruza...will eventually be contesting most of the slams

that new era eventually coming...but not upon us yet

[jjgold]

Keys has a mass of advantage because she has the best serving woman's tennis

How was this woman not ranked?

[jtoler]

Parlayed Joker/Serena to win tourney before matches started, both were like -155, thats a steal for Serena it seems.

[mrlif1]

Can't lose. Sweet suds, mr. Zadir!

[jjgold]

Keys is totally out playing Williams

Serena rarely can win a point on the baseline

fixed it

[jjgold]

I can assure you Serena wants no part of this girl In any draw

I have never seen a girl at 19 years old with such a devastating serve

The only reason Serina won is because of horrific errors not because of Serenas power

Serena could not even dent her with groundstrokes

This was very very deceiving

I would think Sharapova a much easier match up for Serena

[fitguy67]

gotta love the way young keys is stretched out the inevitable...

with her hell-for-leather "ace/winner or UE" demonstration (agree with bison on that point, but it ain't necessarily boring...she turned that 7th...then the 8th game into a memorable character "statement" by fending off SO MANY mp's)

[jjgold]

Keys is going to be a tremendous player

Of course I hear you guys she's a little raw but she's blasting Serena off the court from the baseline

[jjgold]

Guys does keys play this well all the time or did she play over her head today??

Serena was very very lucky to win

The kid gave away too many free points

Keys right now has better skills

[MCherry281]

Well, I'm definitely relieved to get through that match and I'm sure Serena is too with how much she was screaming after every point. Keys could have easily won that first set and then we have a completely different match. I will surely never bet against Keys on a hardcourt again until her odds are adjusted. That's gotta be a future #1 player.

[EaglesPhan36]

One tournament does not a player make gents. Keys is a solid talent, but she's not shown consistency yet in her career. Let her prove that first before we anoint her the 2nd coming and all. Very good showing these two weeks and hopefully Davenport is part of the reason she was able to harness her skills to their fullest this week. If that is the case, then Keys should find that consistency soon.
