Angelique Kerber; what a specimen for a complete athlete; particularly, a specimen for women’s tennis. She has it all; unlike most of the other contenders whose 1st serves are a major `drawback to challenging Serena Williams. If only they had that fearsome 1st serve, Serena would never have made 21 slams. They all can engage Serena on a drawn out court play & with Serena’s vast amounts of unforced errors, they would easily take her out. At 26, Kerber has some 6yrs of solid 1st class tennis left & from what I’ve seen of her, she can only improve. She has it all; quality 1st serves that combine accuracy, placement with pace. Lobs, volleys, ½ volleys, drop shots, baseline & net plays are all in her repertoire. She is fast & well balanced,so much so that she can not only return the best of Serena but also recover enough to counter what usually would be a firey response. Right now, I give her a 60-40 chance to take out Serena & by 2017 I’d give her a 70-30 advantage considering that time is not on Serena’s side. Adios Amigos
