What a point. Baseline rally.

Serena makes the mistake after a many stroke rally.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus wide serves have been spot on the last two points.

 

[nuraman00]

4-1 in the 2nd, Venus.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus steady, wins the 2nd set 6-2.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus has only had 11 weeks at # 1? Wow, that seems really low.

 

[nuraman00]

Serena 200 weeks at # 1, Venus 11. Commentators said Venus didn't play a full schedule when she was winning majors in 2001 and 2002.

Venus hadn't won at set from Serena since 2009.

 

[nuraman00]

Is that Venus first net point of the match? She's up 40-love, 2 all.

 

[nuraman00]

Big serve by Venus. Big return by Serena, who moves in.

Venus gets jammed, unforced error.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus jams Serena with a serve, she wins the game. 3-2.

 

[nuraman00]

Someone just played the theme from a production company, very loudly. Can't remember who this was. Not Paramount. Not Hannah Barbara. Hmm.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus with the break. 4-2.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus solid hold, 5-2.

I'm still surprised Serena hasn't been able to create more dangerous returns this set.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus seems to have a more circular, looping forehand? Or was it just that past point?

 

[nuraman00]

Venus overhead, Serena with the save. Repeat 3x.

Venus eventually wins the point.

Match point.

 

[nuraman00]

Serena saves it.

 

[nuraman00]

Good serve, Serena helplessly returns it into the net.

Good match, but Venus really didn't do a good job with 1st serve %.

Other than that, she did other things well.

Serena looked good as usual.

 

[sportingly]

Good match for Venus. Congrats older sister. She really outplayed Serena today. Hopes she wins it all.

 

[nuraman00]

Venus had never won a match in Canada this year? LOL!

 

[nuraman00]

Wow, both players served poorly. 51% Serena 1st serve, 56% Venus.

I guess I didn't notice Serena's 1st serve was off too.

 

[nuraman00]

Serena was good with the aces, but I usually like players serving very high 60s % or low 70s on 1st serves.
