    Williams-Keys

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    edit: over 19.5 -105

    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

    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

    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

    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

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

    How was this woman not ranked?

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

    Keys is totally out playing Williams

    Serena rarely can win a point on the baseline

    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

    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)

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
