Best of Serena in photos 2011

Ah Serena - my WTA #1. It was miserable to be in Melbourne, where she was two-time defending champion, and not have her there. Thankfully she played Eastbourne, which I'd already planned to go to and I was able to see her play a few matches there and at the US Open:

1) vs Tsvetana Pironkova, Eastbourne
2) vs Vera Zvonereva, Eastbourne
3) vs Michaella Krajicek, US Open

Serena walked by me heading to practice. Whoa.

Saw Sasha all over but never brave enough to talk to him
