Venus kicking ass
She looks hot. The best serving I have seen from her for years. No soft second serves.
In reply to birdseye
Three and two. Easy like Sunday morning.
Looked like Venus in her prime

Very pleasing. It looks as if she has conquered or is conquering that debilitating auto-immune malady...

Just caught a replay of the all-Williams Wimbledon final in early 2000's****I forgot how good she was....she covered that court like a cat....
Some of the most compelling tennis you can find
In reply to birdseye
Who does she play next?
In reply to SirGarny
Ostenpenko
In reply to SirGarny
At her best her court coverage is second to none
In reply to Dukes
Ostapenko up now.
Ostapenko wins a point and there huge cheers. Venus wins a point and there is a smattering of applause.
Venus has broken her serve already!
2-0 in the first set. Ostapenko is the French Open champion.
Venus leads 3-0 on the Roland Garros Champion.

In reply to mikesiva

Venus breaks
In reply to Chrissy
Good use of the body serve 4-1.
Even to reach the finals is an achievement for a 37 year old woman in tennis.
Remember Graf was a spent force at 30.
In reply to analyst-kid
Venus leads 5-2 in the second set.
One more game to go
In reply to analyst-kid
How old was Martina when she won her last Slam, as a curiosity?
Edited because Wikipedia is cool: Martina's last Slam was in 1990, at age 33. Her last Slam final was in 1994 at age 37, she lost to Conchita Martinez
never seen a ball boy hustle so while going nowhere fast.
In reply to Tryangle
Venus is older
Easy like Sunday morning
Oiiiieeeeeeeeeeee mu be$%^*&(*&!!!
VENUS!!!!!!!
In reply to mikesiva
Finish her off Venus...
Congrats Venus. On to Saturday.
In reply to Tryangle
Martina won her last Slam in 1990 at age 33 but reached the Wimbledon final a few months short of her 37th birthday
Am pretty impressed by Venus maturation. I remember when Venus had all the power and athleticism and couldn't overcome a 15-40 deficit on serve.
Now most of that speed and agility is gone and her game today was what I dreamed of 15 years ago.
Congrats to Venus. Hope she can take this one.
In reply to Dukes
Venus was 37 on June 17th
In reply to Ayenmol
My goodness....4 and 2...
Venus is not bulls*&%tting!
On to the finals
In reply to Ayenmol
Sure? She's beating players half her age...and in straight sets!
She's not lightning quick as a cat but she's quick enough!
My heart had Venus but muh head had Konta...Happy tuh be wrong
In reply to SirGarny
Dude' there were a few shots Konta hit that Venus never moved for. Even aces where she extended her racket but never moved her feet. At 20? Venus woulda chased all these shots down. She is moving better than Davenport did at the end, but she cant accelerate for balls anymore just normal movement.
In reply to Chrissy
Who was it on here who said there has been no female athlete who has won a major event after the age of 30??
Can't seem to remember who it was but I am sure we can do some digging to find out.
In reply to DukeStreet
Some idiot and many post here
In reply to Chrissy
Close going in the final 3-3 in the first set.
So good to see the elegant and classy Venus Ebony Starr Williams in another major final..
As Bob said.. "Dem ago tyad fi se we face"!
Like Venus lost her fire... completely dimmed in this 2nd set!
