So unless Williams essentially imploded, like Ivanovic and Vaidisova did, there's really little chance she could've won. @KT Samurai: yes, yes it is.

Zheng certainly does have some great ground-strokes, but her serve leaves much to be desired. I remember seeing Serena hit 100+ mph second serves, while Zheng only manages around 80 mph. She did kick things up a notch after 5-all though. Also, she was definitley at a disadvantage in the tiebreak because of the sunlight on her side of the deuce court. It's ridiculously hard for the eyes to adjust to a dark ball suddenly appearing in a bright patch. But hey, we get another Williams sisters final, which is certainly something to look forward to.
