I recorded the match. I had to go back and look at the end to be sure of the order of events because I couldn't remember. Serena like Agassi has grown up. Her cockiness has been tempered with age. I was glad to see her win.

Yes she must have played so well.

You know what I wish, I wish the Gods of tennis would get together and give Maria Sharapova (and others) six month or a year to cut out all the screeching and grunting on the court. If I were playing against someone like that, I would consider it a major distraction.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's. No one had to make a sound when they hit the ball in tennis. Something should be done. All that noise is absurd and unneeded.
