Serena and James Blake: Anthem Live!

Serena took time out of her busy schedule to help the cause and her friend (James) as she participated in ANTHEM LIVE! (The Ticket To Fight Cancer). Blake faced his buddy Mardy Fish in a set, then Williams took on French standout Tatiana Golovin in a set. The four then returned for a set of mixed doubles. Serena won her singles match against Tatiana. Serena also won her mixed doubles match with Mardy Fish (who is also her partner for the Hopman Cup). Serena Williams and James Blake spoke to (and played tennis with) students at An Achievable Dream Academy before going to Norfolk to play the Anthem Live! exhibition.

Is Serena looking way more fitter than she did when she played the indoor events in Europa?? Or am i wrong?
I think she looks as fit as she was when she won Miami, maybe even fiiter

please let me know what your opinion is??

Patrick,

To answer your question, MOST DEFINITELY! She is indeed much fitter than when she played indoors. If her knee holds well, this could be the year of the true Calendar SLAM. Serena is in fighting good shape.

she does look fitter but i cant tell but it looks like her legs are wrapped at the bottom. any word on that if it is the case?

Her ankels are always strapped, because she has had ankle injuries in the past......so as far as i know, it 's just to protect her from getting injured.

by the way...she looked fitter in the match with Andy Roddick as well, so I think she has a good chance of defending her AO title! her main competitors are Henin, Venus nd Sharapova in my opinion....
