Venus is getting tight I think thinking about it too much.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Tight match, now 4-4 in the decider.
Few points will separate the outcome.

 

[kskate2]

More errors from Venus. Venus will get smoked w/ this kind of play in the next round. Better to let Keys move on if she's too tired to compete.

Madison holds serve leads 5-4,3rd set

[kskate2]

It should break her heart. Out there playing safe when she should have been belting the ball. Safe is not the Williams' way. Keys deserves this win. She hung around and kept it close.

I missed this, so I have no idea what happened, but I can imagine.

Congrats to Keys. What a run she's having! Whatever she's paying Davenport, it's worth it.

I'm sorry to see Venus go, but I'm happy she got as far as she did.
