I think it will come down to her serve. She has to cut down on the double faults. We'll see. I agree Maria will have a tougher time beating the top players now.

Serena and Venus are power players, and they only play the minimum of tournaments, reducing the strain of the tour and increasing their chances of winning. If players like Azarenka, Wozniacki, Radwanska, Ivanovic, etc., don't want to put in the road work and the gym time to stengthen their shoulders and arms, and improve their first serve percentage (at least 68%), then there will continue to be the William sisters, and then everybody else.
