What are the chances of her wanting to stop little sis getting the CYGS?

They may as well give her a bye to the semi's!
Maybe Serena won't pass tattoo chick.

Unfortunately she did.
Bethanie stuck it to her early, before bending over like the rest of the WTA tour.

Seeds gone -Nadal knocked out by the Fog - Fabio Fognini, and Raonic taken out by seasoned veteran Feliciano Lopez.
David Ferrer also gone to Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, not as surprising as he has been declining.

Default Can't watch US Open this year and angry!

This may not be the right place to post, but for the first time in 30+ years I won't be able to watch the Open on television this year. With ESPN buying up the rights those of us who forgo cable will not be able to watch Roger, Serena, Andy, or Novak this year. I am retired and only do over the air television. I cannot even sign in to watch ESPN3 for streaming since you have to verify your cable provider. I have no cable provider! It has been estimated that many thousands of tennis fans will be left out this year. Bad move USTA or USOpen. I was tennis fan long before it was fashionable. Frustrated. If anyone knows a reputable link from which to stream, I'd love to know what it is.

You can watch it live at USOPEN.org for free. It's live, so there are many matches to choose from. I just finished watching an Andy Murray match. He won straight sets.

So Serena is in the semi's after beating Keys (you KNOW Venus won't win the QF match). Makarova is the only name worth mentioning in her half now, and I doubt she'll put up much resistance. Meanwhile, somewhat bizarrely, Bouchard has withdrawn with concussion, after hitting her head in the locker room.

All the potential threats to Serena are in the other half, Kvitova, Halep & Azarenka. Only one can make it. Personally, I think Azarenka is getting back to her best, and is the player most likely to save the day.

Why are people hating on Serena? Is she cheating? Do you just want someone else to win?

Is she getting to Tiger status to where half the audience wants to see her - and if she's out then viewership is cut in half - so are the matches influenced by the networks?

Lack of humbleness and attitude.
