Stuck on 21, Serena aims to finish the job

“Especially against Kerber and against Muguruza, she wasn’t able to dig herself out of the hole like she has in past years”.

It’s nearly two years since Eugenie Bouchard produced the highlight of her career so far by making it to the Wimbledon final, but her memories of that success have been scarred. It doesn’t matter what people say about you or how people feel. Kerber has only survived the fourth round twice in her last 15 Grand Slam appearances (2014 Wimbledon quarterfinals and 2016 Australian Open title).

She also says she’s the world’s worst singer, but if you check out her karaoke performance you’ll see that’s not true.

She finished past year down the WTA list at 48, where she was this week.

Watson admitted that she was lethargic in her 6-2, 6-3 defeat to Vesnina, a outcome she attributed to the frustration of a rainy week in Birmingham.

“You have to have a good team around you and a plan”. “I’m the ultimate perfectionist”, she said following a screening of the movie in NY. Apparently, her love for animals run deep. As Jo Durie points out, however, dealing with weather delays is part of the job. “Wimbledon is her favourite”.

Ad-In: The ultra-consistent Kerber can play high percentage cross-court combinations, use her curling forehand to set up her flat backhand down the line and shows the quick feet and sharp counter-punching skills to carve up opponents. “I had four. You know, that’s pretty awesome”. It has been Paris, Nottingham, Birmingham, coming into this there’s been a lot of rain around. “So you might as well just look after you”.

The reigning champion has been hitting on the grass at the Aorangi practice courts at the All England Club, which has always been such a happy hunting ground for her and her sister Venus.

As it turned out, Evert would play the 1989 Wimbledon tournament and US Open – where she reached the semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively – before negotiating her final exit. I was describing how I would be nervous before matches and have trouble eating, which has happened to me since I was eight years old and playing tournaments.

Serena appeared in Beyoncé’s video for “Sorry”, due to the “strength” she exhibits on and off the tennis court.

“That match against Serena does seem like old news”, the British No2 says.

“I’m going to take a moment to be super honest … Do people really find it interesting?” It was a scary but ultimately really gratifying experience, which I’m hoping inspires others to pursue their dreams. “I just feel that the lower-ranked players are getting better and better”.

The solution? Less Love Island, more Mad Men.

“There were times when we said: ‘We should never do that again.’ Or we said: ‘This is what we need to change”.
