You are more of a Rena fan than Vee?
...I have been a Venus fan for a long time and was banned several times from a major forum for supporting her.I think Vee is my favorite then Serena..I remember years ago when I used to go for a drive just to avoid watching her matches..thats how invested I was in her matches.I used to hate Serena forbeating her in those finals....Rena kinda grew on me

I like the way Venus is competing, although she lost the 1st set, Vee is fully engaged and ready to grind this one out to the end:clap

This was a little disappointing for Venus. She served terribly and she didn't come to net much which is something she absolutely had to do. Konta won against Woz in Aus, but I think Caroline will win Saturday. She will Pliskova her. Get a ton of balls back and force Konta into errors because she's very high risk.

Dumper and Dumpee on opposite sides of net, fighting in the third set to get into finals.

Congrats to Konta. I didn't see the match so can't comment on how anyone played. The stats show alot of service breaks though not unexpected in women's tennis. This was the last hump for Caroline. If she and Sasha are serious about her winning a slam, she really needs to win a master's level tournament first as most of the same people will be playing both. Still a good week for her and a move up in the rankings.
