So, by my picks, I apparently know nothing about women's tennis at all.

With Serena out, I have doubts about her matching Margaret Court's singles slams. She only made it to the semis of a depleted US Open and now she's dealing with injuries.

I saw some of Wawrinka's 4th set this morning, and I forgot how powerful his strokes are. I mean, I knew they were, but he just makes all that power look so effortless.

At this point, I have the feeling that Kenin is going to take the title. That's my prediction before she plays Kvitova.

I counted up the points, and you beat me by 2.5 measly points. It was all about your BL.
