TWD's Sports Saturday Thread #2 For 9/10/11: 2011 US Open- Women's Semifinal (S.Williams/Wozniacki)

The best two female players in the world currently, here are the tactics for this blockbuster semifinal. And though with no disrespect to Samantha Stosur, this is the de-facto final in spirit (and in placement).

The Tactics:

For Wozniacki
1) Serve, serve, serve
2) Forehand, forehand, forehand
3) Stay relaxed, this is a friend, and this is your moment

For S.Williams
1) Stay relaxed, especially that you are playing a friend, not a true adversary
2) Use the net, use the dropshots, get Wozniacki off the balance
3) Scoreboard pressure, stay ahead.

This is the classic match between counterpuncher and puncher. Can the counterpuncher punch the puncher enough.

Prediction: I think this will be a classic encounter, and I hope there are warm feelings after the match. I do think that narrowly, Serena will win in an epic 3 set match, just because of her legendary quality to pull her through. But if she is a little off, Wozniacki will win this match.
