Hadn't she already, more than once ?
Serena is a mental fortress like very few other player (male or female) I've seen.
I've been wondering how purposefully she went twice to a decider : get rhythm & match habits back in early rounds (hence supposedly easier opponents)...
To me she is slowly but surely raising her game (and possibly even her fitness, or lowering her lack of, to be truer).
Once she is in a slam draw, it's a bit like having Nadal at the FO : it would be quite dumb to rule either out... No matter how in bad shape they might be, given how big remains their dominance.
