Kim Clijsters Destroys Venus Williams In Straight Sets To Win The Miami Masters Women’s Title.
Yesterday, US OPEN champion Kim Clijsters of Belgium, destroyed Venus Williams of the United States 6-2 6-1 in only fifty eight minutes to win the Miami Masters event. Clijsters has defeated Venus four consecutive times since the year 2005.
Venus continues to capitulate against Clijsters as she exposes the weakness in Venus Williams game. Clijsters was relentless, by attacked Venus second serve and pummeled Venus into submission.
It is obvious, Venus has a mental block against Clijsters she lacks the mental strength to beat the top women.
Venus is in serious denial about her game because it breaks down in the important moments of a match.
For instance, in the 2010 Australian Open women quarterfinals Venus had a 6-2 5-3 lead against Na Li of China yet she still lost the match! Clijsters played well yesterday, she allowed Venus to self destruct on the court. Clijsters game matches well against Venus because Venus cannot overpower Clijsters.
Venus does not have the mental toughness anymore to beat the elite players. Venus can beat the second tier players in the top ten but she is losing to the very best her sister Serena and Kim Clijsters.
Meanwhile, Clijsters continues to prove her comeback is for real. Clijsters has beaten Venus Williams and Justine Henin twice since her comeback began last summer. The sky is the limit for Kim Clijsters.
I believe Clijsters now has the mental toughness to win more slams. Clijsters is capable of winning the French Open, Wimbledon, or the US OPEN. The question for Clijsters is, can she hold up under the pressure and continue to win grand slam titles? Clijsters has the complete package, she has the serve, groundstrokes, speed, athleticism, power, and desire.
Venus Williams is still defiant in media interviews, but on the court she lacks self-confidence. Venus serve is pure garbage, her groundstrokes are erratic and inconsistent. Venus is lost, I think as she is about to turn thirty in a few months. I think Venus career is over as a true contender in the game.
Of course, thirty years of age is young but in tennis this is considered almost ancient. Venus can still beat the nobodies in tennis but she has proven she cannot
beat the elite players anymore.
Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert they continued to compete and do well into their thirties but they played the game in a different era. Women tennis is so much more about athletics, power, fitness, having a good serve, and mental toughness.
Evert and Navratilova dominated the game in the 1980s, it was an era when almost all the women were mental lightweights. The women tennis players in this current generation are not afraid of Venus Williams.
Venus has to realize her time is finished as a champion. I believe Venus is a underachiever, it is hard to believe she only won seven grand slam singles titles. Venus
has so much potential and talent but she never lived up to her full potential.
Williams may have won two minor events this season but she has also proven to be very mentally fragile and inconsistent. It is time for Venus to reexamine her game. Venus is turning thirty years old in June and maybe she is just getting old? Professional tennis is a real grind and there is a lot of stress on the body. I feel Venus is on her way out! The real elite players in the game are Serena Williams and the Belgians.
The Belgians are very hungry and Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters have proven they can beat the Williams Sisters. Clijsters and Henin are the only women capable of challenging Serena at the grand slams. It is very clear that Venus Williams is finished stick a fork in Venus she might as well retire. Well, at least I can root for Serena! I know Serena has the tenacity, mental toughness, serve, nerve, and the game to challenge the Belgians. Serena is not afraid of anybody and unlike Venus her game is much more consistent.
