I think Serena is losing this one though Venus hasn't been the best closer.

 

[kskate2]

0-30, 2 pts away

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Lets Go Venus, show the younger sis who is the boss!

 

[kskate2]

Serena wins 4 pts in a row. 5-3. Venus to serve for it

 

[kskate2]

2 pts away again

 

[kskate2]

great point to get MP!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

2 match points, go Venus!

 

[kskate2]

Serena saves one on a netcord return

 

[kskate2]

She can't save the 2nd. Venus wins. yay!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena definitely deserved that loss with her apathetic play at times, but Venus came to play. Hopefully, this motivates Serena to improve. I know how she hates losing especially to her sister.

 

[kskate2]

I hope Venus isn't tired or has a letdown tomorrow. She really deserves to win this tournament.

No she hates losing to anyone. However, I believe it does not hurt as much if she loses to vee as oppose to someone else.

No she hates losing to anyone.

Yeah, but you can tell it doesn't sit well with her to lose to her sister. I think the only thing that would light a fire under Serena and spark some serious motivation is losing to Sharapova. I think you would see a holy terror on the WTA circuit if that ever happened.

 

[Calvy]

Venus was on and Serena played passive to much.

 

[rubydo]

Venus was simply awesome forehand virtually impossible to return late in the match, Serena kind of looked disinterested, but full credit to Venus. I am not a huge fan of either, but I certainly respect their greatness and what they have both accomplished over the years.

Have no idea how you reached that observation. A couple of years ago people were claiming that Serena was losing matches so that Venus could win now we are hearing that Serena does not like to lose to Venus..SMH. Again, Serena does not like losing to anyone.

And you can take that to the bank for sure.

How many points did Serena lose today? And how many will Vee earn if she wins the tournament and how many spots will she jump in the rankings.
