Thanks Sim, I didn't realize others posted about Serena's 200th week at number 1. Even if I did I can post whatever I like as many times as I like.

You do know that this is Hammer's site don't you? He is quite diplomatic but you guys/gals are starting to push it. If you enjoy posting on the site you may want to follow the rules or face the consequences.

Venus-Serena @ Rogers Cup

Venus up a break, 1-0, in the 1st set.

 

[nuraman00]

2-1 Venus up a break after 3 games.

 

[nuraman00]

Break point for Serena.

 

[nuraman00]

Weak serve leads to backhand return for Serena, which leads to an unforced error by Venus.

Venus loses the game @ love.

3 all.

 

[nuraman00]

This is a good match.

Serena calling on her reserves (serve; movement) to save break points.

 

[nuraman00]

Aces 10-1 Serena.

 

[nuraman00]

Oh Venus, how could you hit that forehand into the net.

She loses a game in which she had a few chances to break.

4-3, Serena.

 

[nuraman00]

I am sick of Venus missing 1st serves.

 

[nuraman00]

Stop missing 1st serves.

 

[nuraman00]

Tiebreak.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus starts off the point with a wide serve. Doesn't look to control the point after that, then suddenly unleashes a quick forehand.

Wait, Serena challenges. It's out!

 

[nuraman00]

Serena wins the tiebreak.

Serena wins the tiebreak.

You are so precise on your analysis of the match. Thanks for the updates.

 

[nuraman00]

Just like the 1st set, Venus up a break 2-0 in the 2nd.

 

[nuraman00]

You are so precise on your analysis of the match. Thanks for the updates.

Your welcome.

Glad you could join.

Amazing how the second set has started like the first. You know this is really is a good match by the sisters. They now play more tactical now that they are older.

You're not going to beat Serena with weak save shots to Serena in the middle of the court.

I kind of agree.

From what I remember of their past matches, and it's been a long time since I last saw them (US Open 2008), those mostly used to be about the power.

Now, for example, I can see Serena serving to certain spots like she has in other big matches.

Back in 2008, my friend said Venus would never beat Serena again.

I texted him and reminded him of that today, and to tell him they're playing.
