Venus had a struggle in the first round, eventually winning 7-6,7-5....

 
mikesiva 2017-01-17 09:12:46 

In her first round match, Serena beat Belinda Bencic at four and three....

Bencic has a nice game.

 
Chrissy 2017-01-17 20:01:35 

First set to Venus 6-3

 
Chrissy 2017-01-17 20:42:45 

6-3; 6-2 - great performance - clinical

 
Acid 2017-01-17 20:46:00

Venus' 3rd set was a clinic with a razor-sharp backhand.

Hehehhe - she only played two lol

 
Chrissy 2017-01-19 05:42:53 

Serena easy like Sunday morning - damn she looks good

Watching my recording of Serena's match...a good win. Safarova is a tough cookie.
cool

 
Chrissy 2017-01-20 06:01:22 

In reply to mikesiva
Yes indeed. Venus is looking good as well.

Watching Federer now -leading Berdych 5-2 in the first set.

 
analyst-kid 2017-01-20 08:48:18 

The Chinese player this morning told the media she has NEVER seen Venus Williams play before....HOW COULD THIS BE?...IS SHE RACIST?

Venus also said she never saw the girl Duan play before either ...but this is understandable...the girl is an unranked player.

BUT HOW COULD SHE IN AN INTERNATIONAL SPORT NEVER SAW A WORLD CLASS PLAYER AND CHAMPION BEFORE?

!! My bad!


Well, it was the second set I was referring to then. I really thought she had dropped a set there...

You think she lying? Or do you think she should lie and say yes she did?

If you are in the tennis world, it's impossible to not know Venus, not if you want to be a serious contender.

 
mikesiva 2017-01-21 06:49:20 

Serena won her third round match with the loss of only four games....

Interestingly, Venus withdrew from the women's doubles with her sister. Venus said she wanted to protect a sore elbow.

I hope it holds out for the fortnight....

 
analyst-kid 2017-01-21 14:16:44 

Venus looks like easy sailing until she reach semifinals when she will meet Kerber's section, Serena however has a tussle right down to the wire.

analyst-kid 2017-01-21 14:24:04 

Maybe saying Venus has easy sailing is too extreme cuz these young girls are damn good but she should get past her next two opponents.

Venus had to work hard to beaat Mona Barthel 6-3,7-5, but she's into the quarter-finals now....

 
mikesiva 2017-01-23 06:01:19 

Serena is into the quarters too, with a 7-5,6-4 win over Barbara Strycova....

First set to Venus - gwan my girl.

In reply to Chrissy

Venus is not only playing great - she is looking damn good too

 
Chrissy 2017-01-23 20:43:14 

In reply to birdseye

Agree - I'd like her to win this in two - just broken

 
Chrissy 2017-01-23 20:45:43 

In reply to birdseye

Breaks back at love 4-4

Straight sets...the old girl's still got it!
big grin

 
birdseye 2017-01-24 06:22:12 

In reply to mikesiva

I also love the fact that she seems very comfortable with herself – he attire and body language exudes content – at least that’s my take – classy.

 
Chrissy 2017-01-24 08:56:15 

In reply to birdseye

She designs her gear lol

 
ProWI 2017-01-24 10:00:28 

In reply to Chrissy

One of her better designs I have seen. She looks elegant, fit and sexy in this latest design for the Aus Open.

 
analyst-kid 2017-01-24 11:00:41 

In reply to Chrissy

she have this uncanny ability to produce these 25-45 degree angle shots at full stretch that evades her opponents...its amazing.

She can beat you on pure placement something similar to Lara piercing a set field.

Power players who play from the baseline like Coco must be wary of her especially when you consider Venus has beaten her just recently.

 
mikesiva 2017-01-25 04:31:19 

In reply to Chrissy

Serena crushed Konta for the loss of just five games!
smile
There is a return of the oldies this tournament...it's not just a case of Federer finding another gear, but three of the four women's semi-finalists are old-timers. Venus is 36, Serena is 35, and Lucic-Baroni has returned from some horrifying setbacks to make it to the last four at 34.

 
Chrissy 2017-01-25 06:09:58 

In reply to mikesiva

Fabulous tournament - a dream so far. They are both playing great tennis.
Nadal and the Fed looking good too.

 
Chrissy 2017-01-26 01:48:00 

Venus in the finals - Serena takes the first set 6-2 and breaks now.

 
Chrissy 2017-01-26 01:54:53 

Double break in the second 4-1

Dis done lol

 
Chrissy 2017-01-26 02:00:47 

DOne and dusted lol

Roll back the clock! It's another Williams sisters final. I don't care who wins now...mission accomplished.
cool
Now, to go on BBC's Have Your Say messageboard, and harrass those British racist trolls, who were praying for the Williams sisters to lose....

Venus will give it to Serena so she could have the all time record
for most grand slams.

If not for Nadal and Federer, geriatrics on the men side, I wonder how many would be using the Williams age of dominance to deride the competition as inferior to yesteryear.

 
analyst-kid 2017-01-26 09:49:12 

In reply to Ayenmol

No way the competition is inferior!

I watched this tournament and these young ladies are very very good.

Serena and Venus have experience being champions and playing top class opponents over the years in Graf,Hingis,Justine Henin, Klisters,Davenport and others...that is the difference here.
