Venus planning on a 3-setter?
Remember Venus has never beaten Slone Stephens and there is a history between Sloane and the Williams Sisters.
Right now this is a Venus meltdown. If Venus doesn't start getting some heat in her behind, this could be the biggest embarrassment of the year.
V-Engine seems to be heating up. Those pistons are really stroking now.

HUh Watch the 3rd set

Quick ...somebody bring the cream cheese ..!
Okay, match on.
Don't let me down now Venus, get this first game under your belt and keep stroking that engine. More gas. It was the heat of those power strokes that gave you that bagel.
In reply to ProWI
is that a v8 or v6
Nice Bagel - now done dis
Looks to me like Serena has been coaching V by phone which she would never have done if she was playing here
Go Venus
Ouch Sloane breaks first
Damn. Just what I did not want. She most often than not loses a first after winning a hard fought set.
In reply to Chrissy
she missing too many easy shots
All that hard work and 2-0 down.. She had Slone up against the wall and gave her an out. Now, she's back to the first set mistakes.
She needs to break Slone in this 4th. game to get back the psychological edge.
break back
Took 4 tries, but she broke her. Now hold serve, damn it.
Time to break her again. That would be like putting a nail in a coffin.
Keep that V-Engine rolling.
That was very important game of the match. Vebnus needs to hold her serve now at 3-3

Venus will have to pull a miracle
As I said.!if Venus, she can reminisce about that 6 game more that the 7th, she was broken at.
Personally...i wouldnt mind sloane winning. Gives hope for the younger generation.
4-4 -Waaaaaaaaaaaah Go Venus!
In reply to Chrissy
The commentators sound like they conceding the win to Venus
Okay, end this match here and now. Hold serve and break her for a 6-4.
That was a crucial hold from Venus. Pressure on Sloan to extend the match...especially after being broken.
You did, now do the breaking and let me go to sleep. I have been up all day and it's 4:17 a.m.
5-5 great 3rd set
Back shot selection to allow that Sloane backhand down the line. Now the pressure is on Venus to hold serve. Let's see what she does.
Wow Sloane breaks and will serve for di match
on the brink of death

Who knows V might break back and win the tiebreaker. Great 3rd set
In reply to Chrissy
This is going to take a lot out of Venus....i dont see it happening.
That's it I am afraid. Sloane only has to hold her nerve and win this match. Venus can think about all the mistakes she made. Sloane has played a very sensible game,keeping herself in most games with an appropriate slob.
Let's see if Venus can break her for at least what would be an appropriate tie-break.
Amazing game by Sloane.

Venus got gassed in the last part of the 3rd set.
In reply to ProWI
Slosne wins
In reply to ProWI
that girl was just too good
Oh. Well. Good Night/Morning folks.It was not suppose to happen. So close, so far, so Sad. I'll check the scores for the next match in morning. I hope Keys wins.
In reply to methodic
She played the most sensible tennis in the last set;just keeping the ball in play and letting Venus over hit. She deserves a title.
Venus is yet to beat her after four tries.
In reply to Chrissy
Venus is a champion in many ways, Sloane is going to be a tennis champion soon
In reply to ProWI
I think Venus thought she had to hit winners to beat her. Sloane looks like she could rally all night
In reply to ProWI
Huge embarrassment...
