Serena Williams Wins 9th
Serena Williams has won the Us Open by defeating Jelena Jankovic in a highly exciting match, earning the 3rd best match of the year. Although Serena still wasn’t showing her great form, Jankovic didn’t have the guts to take the match to her.
When Serena Williams won the match point, she started jumping for joy, as if she was a little child, it’s great to see hard work and devotion turning out into emotions, relief and joy. This shows how great she is as an athlete.
Serena Williams will also regain the number 1 ranking for a while. Pictures will be placed online later.
Serena’s into the final !
Serena Williams defeated the wind and Dinara Safina in the semis to rush into the finals, where she’ll face Jelena Jankovic.
The match could have been better if the wind didn’t show up, but either way, Serena won !
The final is delayed till sunday because of the severe weather caused by a tropical storm ^^’
Serena outlasts Venus in a heated duel
Serena Williams, it took her blood, tears, splits and guts to push Venus Williams aside to win the US Open 2008 QF. The match didn’t start out well for Serena, by already falling behind and not being able to break Venus’s game. When she did, she went on to even it, but was again, trailing behind in the tie-breaker, which she eventually won.
Second set, same scenario, but Serena was able to defeat Venus in almost 3 hours. What a stunning match it was. Serena now has an easier draw to win her 3rd US Open title.
Next she’ll be playing Dinara Safina in the quarters and probably Jelena Jankovic in the finals.
