Venus is fighting for it. Go Venus!

 

[Moxie]

Awesome fight from Venus! Great win.

 

[golds girl]

That was a heck of a win by Venus, she didn't give up...haven't been thrilled by a women's match like that in a while

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

venus must be (or is already) near her highest rank for a long time.

and good to see heather Watson winning a couple of matches at a big tourney the other day after her mono followed by injury..nearly back in top 50 maybe soon.

Solid efforts tonight by Venus and Agnieszka tonight, Sabine made so many errors, which of course is the way Aga wins. Good line up tomorrow.

Venus is now 22 even if she loses. Another win puts her in top 20 instead of.. Sloane!
Its family matters and Karma is a bitch
Heather jumped from 57 to 46.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Looks like Sugarpova has a break in her system without her staring and time delaying. I predict that she will revert to her old tactics in the coming events. I guess that she has no choice She was just awful.
Refs I put my trust on you. Dont let it happen.

[Si Si Simona]

Imagine if Venus beats Navarro, she turns to the tv camera where she has to sign and shouts:
"Nobody messes with my sister! Got that Sloane?! down you go" :laydownlaughing

SF Prediction time:
Family reunion! who knows when it will happen again (Sorry Caro)
Coco dares
Vika revenges. Vika is the ultimate fighter and she does it "clean".

i don't want to see serena and caro play each other.

 

[10isfan]

How did Vika look? Injured or healthy?

I think Serena will find it difficult to play her best against such a good friend. Perhaps an upset?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Caro takes the first set 6-4
Saved 2 breaks and converted the only one she had. Serena had better first serve percentage than Caro in the first half. Serena 72% Caro 66%

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Serena gifts the first game of the second set to Caro, ends it with a double fault.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena may want to start showing some fight soon at least take it to a third.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Late in the second set, Serena breaks Caro at love in the 8th game, all even 4-4

I like Caro a lot, but there's no reason why Serena should be losing. Anytime she decides to stop making errors and hit the ball w/ authority, she will take control of the point and win most of them.

Pusher Serena drives me crazy just hit the stupid ball already. If you are going to lose at least make them fear the force in which you came at them.
