This is the first time I've seen Caro play aggressive tennis - and she had to - because across her was 13-times Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams. Although not a clay courter, Serena's power game allows her to dominate in any surface. However, today, I really thought she would lose because she looked out of sorts and Caro was very aggressive - that is, until 61 21. After that, the tigress woke up, and ended the second set at 63. She was ruthless in the third set and finished it at 62, as Caro desperately tried to match Serena toe to toe on the power game. Better luck next time dear!

Match I Saw Today: Serena Williams vs. Caroline Wozniacki
This is the first time I've seen Caro play aggressive tennis - and she had to - because across her was 13-times Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams. Although not a clay courter, Serena's power game allows her to dominate in any surface. However, today, I really thought she would lose because she looked out of sorts and Caro was very aggressive - that is, until 61 21. After that, the tigress woke up, and ended the second set at 63.
