Watching V Williams take on S Williams yesterday made me wonder if V Williams had superimposed Elena Dementieva's head on Serena's body as she sent down a fusillade of serves that would not have attained a higher velocity if they had been fired from a cannon!! She sent down a serve of 129 mph (206 km/h for the metric readers), breaking her own Wimbledon serve record, she sent down serves that bounced up at Serena's shoulders, she sent down serves to Serena's body and whatever Serena threw at her, she returned with interest.
Serena played her part in the best match so far between the two of them and some of their shots were simply jaw-dropping, but when V is fit and healthy, there is no player who can match her athleticism and court coverage on what has become her Centre Court.
Martina Navratilova's record of 9 singles Wimbledon title's is definitely within V's reach.
What a great match!!
Being the kind of big sis that she is, she made sure that lil' sis had something to celebrate too by playing her part in their doubles victory later on.
