Who is the better opponent for Venus in Semis?

Konta or Halep?

I say the latter; you say why your choice.

Well, it will be Venus vs Konta - a battle Royale in the offering.

Venus will have to fight against her poorer second serve and, most importantly, the emotional wave Konta will be riding all through the matches.

Normally the aging, but evergreen, Queen of Grass would expect such emotions to be in her favour, but with GBR yearning for a women's champion, she will be at a disadvantage.

Venuts, like me, can only hope her serving is more than up to scratch, limiting her second serve deficiencies, and she can even improve on that power game, she seems to have recaptured.

Go Venus. You go girl.

Venus at her best now and Konta at her best now=VENUS.This is so especially on grass as opposed to hard courts.
Muguruza on the other hand is whole other bowl of wax
