Wimbledon Women's finals game thread: Venus vs Serena 

Post#1 » by Slava » Thu Jul 3, 2008 6:12 pm

WIMBLEDON, England -- Venus and Serena Williams won in straight sets Thursday to set up their third all-sister Wimbledon final and seventh Grand Slam championship matchup.

Defending champion and four-time winner Venus beat Elena Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (3), and two-time champ Serena then overcame two rain delays and served 14 aces to down China's Zheng Jie 6-2, 7-6 (5).

It will be the first all-Williams final since 2003, when Serena beat Venus in the championship match for the second year in a row.

Hope the fans don't forget their earplugs. Though it can't be much worse than what Dementieva did today.

Great win for Venus. Reminded me of her prime years with the movement and stroke play. Serena is the bigger star but to me Venus will always be the better player.
