Gawd I hope so. Because both are playing so well and it would be a hell of a match. And I don't care to see Safina or Dementieva look petrified for the beatdown she would surely receive in the final.

I vote no because .... noooooooo [/pout]. I don't want it to happen. I just wish someone would take Serena out of the mix. I like strong women (amelie and martina, I'm looking at both of you) but (and I should take this to the haterade thread) Serena always comes across to me as a man in drag. Not just a manly woman (mary carillo, I'm looking at you) but the exaggerated affected femininity of true full-on campy drag.
Not that there's much else left. I haven't ever been able to stomach Dementiva's game even though every time I watch her I try to talk myself into it, "she hits good strong groundstrokes, and her serve it's as bad as it used to be." But still. No. And Safina has just been painful to watch. I lurve her but it's been cringeworthy. So eh. blech.

I would certainly be happy in theory for either Elena or Dinara to win a Slam, but not this one, not now. Venus all the way, and if she doesn't win at least losing to Serena wouldn't hurt her as bad, and yeah they do seem to be the only ones worthy of each other. They're in a class by themselves and they've ironed out the nerves such that they can really compete and play well against each other, not like the old days.
Addig on after seeing what ilsabing wrote: while I disagree on Serena being manly, I do think what comes across as confidence in Venus seems like cockiness in Serena. And sorry, but I do kinda hate that slur on her, she's just a very athletic, muscular woman, that doesn't to me make her any less feminine. Plus, have you noticed that rack???

Oh i'd definitely be happy with a Serena free final, it would be my choice pick. I just can't see it happening, not with her up against Dementieva. I just wish could have been a Dinara/Venus final. Win/win.

I HOPE that Dementieva can give Serena a run for her money. She HAS been playing well this tournament.
