And welcome to Serena Williams’ crushing defeat of Timea Babos. Sorry Babos fans, really sorry in fact. Do you need a hug? Would an ice-cream make you feel better? Here, blow that nose and wipe your eyes. Again, apologies for being so direct but it is best you know in advance that this match is merely one for Serena to expend with, much like the boxer must shed roll after roll of sweaty, useless, disgusting flab before they can win the title. OK, OK, Serena is not perfect and there were a few nervy moments in the opening set against Margarita Gasparyan – Gasparyan had a 3-1 lead and even had a break point for 4-1 – but after she missed that forehand, Serena came flying back, eventually crushing the Russian like a tank running over a disused soda can.
