SERENA BROKE VENKA 3 TIMES TO AN EASY 6-1 FIRST SET WHICH TOOK ABOUT 22 MINUTES FOR THE FIRST 3 GAMES. THOUGH WINNING EASILY THROUGHOUT THE THE TOURNAMENT PRACTICED A LITTLE BIT AFTER HER MATCH WITH HALEP FELT RUSTY, SO SHE HIT A FEW BALLS AND HAD A NICE REST. SO TODAY SHE CAME SWINGING FROM BOTH WINGS AND FINISHING WITH 2 ACES TO TAKE THE 2ND SET FOR THE MATCH 6-3. SHE CLAIMS THAT LAST YEAR SHE FELT EXCELLENT BUT THINGS HAPPEN YOU WIN AND YOU LOSE SOME! THIS IS HER SECOND ITALIAN TITLE THE 1ST IN 2002. SHE WAS ON THE BRINK OF WINNING AGAIN LAST YEAR UNTIL SHE MET FRENCHWOMEN VIRGINIE RAZZANO WHERE SHE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST IN THE 1ST ROUND AFTER WINNING IN SPAIN. SO WITH HER 51ST TITLE IN HER HAND & GOING INTO THE FRENCH WITH WINS OVER MARIA & VENKA WHERE SHE IS 13 AND ZERO AGAINST MARIA AND 12-2 AGAINST VENKA IS THIS A SHOE IN FOR SERENA? WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AS SERENA SEEMS TO LOVE TO PLAY IN THE DIRT AND DOES NOT SEEM LIKE ANYONE CAN STOP HER! SEE YOU AT ROLAND GARROS! AVOIR! |
