[1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [23] Timea Bacsinszky (SUI)

Serena Williams is 4 short sets away from a 3rd Roland Garros title, a 20th Grand Slam singles title, and an ever stronger case for being the greatest of all time.  Bacsinszky has the advantage of having nothing to lose.  Having surpassed her seeding, the Swiss can play freely and see how the match unfolds.  That is about the only advantage I can think of when running through this match in my mind.  Serena Williams should win this match.  Barring a torrent of unforced errors, Serena will win this match.  Even if Serena plays a sloppy match, she might win this match.

My Prediction Serena Williams d. Timea Bacsinszky 6-3, 6-1
