34 Ways To Wish Serena Williams A Happy 34th Birthday
Happy birthday Serena. Hoping you stay healthy long enough to surpass Steffi on the GS level.

I hope Aggie for winning this tournament that included Caroline Wozniacki as the number 1 seed and other top 10 seeds will get her act together and make winning the GS a realistic goal. It is one thing beating an up and coming teen sensation Bencic and another gunning for the top prize when it counts.

LB, what are your thoughts on Serena folding under pressure and losing the golden opportunity to tie Graf and also complete the calendar slam? Do you think her window to achieve that has passed by or do you think she will continue to clean up on slams due to the acute lack of any true competition in 2016?? I think she can tie and surpass Graf's total, but she will not get the calendar slam. Also her rabid fans and the fervent media already proclaimed her as GOAT even before she got to the QF. Do you think everyone jinxed her?

I don't believe in jinxes.

But, maybe I was one myself. That week, I had been eating a lot of tortelloni (Italian pasta).
