She just won her first match, against Australia. Judging by the rest of the women's singles field, I don't see anyone that can stop her. After she just tied Graff for most career grand slams ever, she is on pace to win back to back gold medals. If she pulls it off, I think that will make her the world athlete of the year.. does that even exist?
Will be 5 all time olympic golds, if she wins. I think as far as counting on Team USA members to win the gold, she is one of the best locks of any sport.

So much for the lock.. lol. That's too bad. I thought for sure she would coast to the finals too. Here's her letting her racket have it..
