I understand what you are saying and this is how it should happen, but you can never be sure of anything, so we have to wait and see. If Hamilton has some pride left in him, he will show his face and start fighting.
About Serena ... what can I possibly say that has not been said already. She's prolonging what is inevitable and with every year, with every tournament she's deleting the good results she has been able to achieve. I guess everyone remembers her as the one who could not let go already and not in a good way.
