If she plays like she did in the 3rd set against Kontaveit, I would agree. Most of the top players have not faced her much, and the ones who gave her trouble in the past, like Osaka, are out. I would worry if I were her about Coco Gauff, who has beaten her and is ready to breakout soon. Gauff plays Madison Keys today in what should be a good match. Gauff, like Serena, also has the potential to win this tournament although she has not won a major, yet. However it looks like they are on the same side of the draw so that Serena would get Gauff in the semifinals if both keep winning. Which is too bad because a Serena-Coco final would be awesome, 18 years old vs. 42 would be classic new vs. old starsI do think that for some reason Serena has a real chance to win the title. If I was in betting I would put some bucks on her.
