Subject: how did Serena avoid unforced errors?

I read that she only had 11 unforced errors, whereas typically in the
past, her unforced errors would be the reason she lost. Did she have a
different approach to this tournament?

Aw crap, my apologies, I didn't realize I posted to the wrong group.

my list)!

I did not watch the match, I only read the recap. But the official
stats state that Serena only had 11 unforced errors:

"Serena had so few unforced errors (11) and that's just not what she
usually does. She usually litters the court with unforced errors and
winners. But she has never been able to control her power game, hit so
many winners (28) like she did today."

Yes, she hit the ball so hard and in the right spots so it never came
back, thus limiting the chance that she would make an error.
The way Serena played last night, I couldn't see any woman player in
history who could have beaten her. And she's out of shape and has had
no preparation.
There's the old adage that the best woman in the world couldn't beat
the #100 ranked man. I wouldn't bet against Serena playing the #100
man.

Don't know what tournament you saw, but last night I clearly saw Serena hit
at least a dozen shots OB in the first round alone. And no one forced her to
hit them, as best as I could determine. Certainly didn't impress me :-)
