Yeah, Serena was bad, especially compared to Victoria. Actually, Serena hasn't impressed one time at this Australian Open.

Thanks, Jacob.

as you know, marija, serena is my favourite, and i hate to say it, but victoria played so fantasticly, and serena not so great.

sometimes you can tell when serena isnt 100%
she seems lazy, no footwork, and her serve.

It was painful to watch Azarenka barely walking on the court, I almost had to switch the channel. She could have defeated Williams, and was close to being 2-0 up in the second set. What a waste she had to finish the match like that. Well, the stronger/healthier one always survives.

Now that Azarenka has her head straight, thanks to her win in Brisbane, I now consider her the elite of her peers. Very tough luck in the AO round of 16 (tough luck for viewers, too), but this could be the year of Azarenka.

I watched Azarenka's match and it's a pity she has to pulled out that way. But at the same time I'm happy for Serena becoz I'm rooting for a semifinal match between Elena and her.

So sorry for Victoria! Her tennis was superb.

She was very good, I though she would pull off an upset. I went to sleep somewhere at the beginning of the second set, when Azarenka was still doing well, and I woke up to the news that she had to retire. It was a shock and big disappointment.

Vika was playing sooooo good today! She wasn't getting overpowered by Serena at all and was hitting amazing winners off her backhand…. kinda reminded me of when I first fell in love with Jankovic's backhand She's become one of my favourite players now! It was kinda distressing to see her wobbling all over the service line, I hope she gets better soon.
