commentators mentioned Genie's footspeed as needing some work, but I think it's more her anticipation that she'll be learning over the next couple years. Li was hitting hard enough to probably beat anybody, but still it looked like Genie was heading the wrong direction a large percentage of the time. dig up the Rafa video and look at how he never seems to get twisted around even when defending.
if Genie's game keeps developing at this pace though, can you imagine the panda-monium she'll generate by a deep run at Rogers Cup this year...especially after Milos' finals appearance last season? I wouldn't mind flipping/burning a car or two in her name.
