Did you get to see Serena in her green "onesie" at the Australian Open? She was looking every bit the amazon woman we have loved for so long. If not, you'll have to catch her on replay because she lost to a great opponent: Karolina Pliskova.
Or was it Father Time who did her in? I hope not. Not yet. I just want a few more of those aces at crucial points . . . that ferocious stare.
My favorites are moving slowing off the court. But I had favorites before them: Agassi, Billy Jean.
Right now, I hope Nadal goes all the way down under. And, a few more times before "final" becomes final.
Good post. Thank you. Melinda
