Vera Zvonareva & Kim Clijsters Advance To The US Open Women’s Finals!!!
Kim Clijsters of Belgium outlasted Venus Williams 4-6 7-6 6-4 to reach her fourth US Open women’s final. Clijsters has proven she owns Venus Williams. Clijsters has won the last five matches against Venus and leads the series 7-6.
The difference between the Williams Sisters is, Serena is more consistent but also she is a fighter. Venus lacks the passion and the belief necessary to rise to the top of women’s tennis.
Richard Williams said that Serena is “meaner” on the tennis court than Venus. Serena is also a superior tennis player she just hates losing matches!
Time is not on Venus Williams side. Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova are exceptions to the rule that women can win grand slam titles after they turn thirty.
I believe today the door has closed and it is time for Venus to quit and retire from the game. Venus had a great career she managed to win seven grand slam singles titles and 43 WTA Tour titles in total.
However, I believe Venus is finished she just doesn’t have the “spark” the mental toughness to win big grand slam matches.
Meanwhile, Vera Zvonareva of Russia proved she’s getting mentally stronger. Zvonareva blasted the number one seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-4 6-3 in straight sets. The media hype for Wozniacki was overbearing and extremely annoying. The media are desperate for a new pretty, young, blonde, to become a grand slam champion.
Wozniacki wins her tennis matches by being consistent, making few unforced errors, and running down a lot of tennis balls. Vera Zvonareva proved today when a powerful player rushes Wozniacki she will panic and make a lot of mistakes. The consistency was lacking in Wozniacki’s game today she looked uncertain on the tennis court.
Wozniacki has won four WTA Tour titles this year. The media underestimated Vera Zvonareva, because of her emotional tantrums on the tennis court. Zvonareva deserves a lot of credit for serving well, and charging the net to attack Wozniacki and keep her on the defenisve. Wozniacki made over thirty unforced errors and she lost the chance to become the number one player in the world. The media made it seem this US Open was “the moment” Wozniacki would become a champion. Time will tell “when” Caroline Wozniacki wins a grand slam event. The pressure of reaching the US Open final was too much for Wozniacki and this loss proves she still is a little mentally fragile in the grand slams.

I know this is old news but I couldn’t comment until now.
Firstly, I congratulate Kim Clijsters for winning her 3rd US Open. It’s nice to see that she is making good use of her second tennis career. She has now won 21 consecutive matches at Flushing Meadows. I think she would have had a more difficult final had she played Caroline instead of Vera. As far as I’m concerned Caroline seemed to be playing the best tennis out of the four semi-finalists. I can’t comprehend why she didn’t advance to the final. I’m glad that Serena is still #1.
I hate to put a damper on things, but Kim was fortunate to advance to the final since Venus was injured. Richard Williams himself said that his daughter’s fate at the US Open would depend on the state of her knee. Not only was it obvious that Venus’s knee was injured during her semi-final, but also in her other matches at the US Open. I could see that she was trying to minimize her movement due to her unwillingness and hesitation to retrieve balls from time to time. Also, it affected her shotmaking. As a matter of fact, I’m convinced she was injured at Wimbledon as well.
Somehow, Venus was in a position to win the match in two sets but she played the most atrocious tie-break I have ever seen her play and Kim’s tennis was patchy at best. Can you imagine what would have happened had Venus not been injured?
I realise that Kim has come out on top in her last 5 meetings against Venus, but she has played an injured Venus in their last 3 matches. I know that Venus was injured when she beat Kim at Wimbledon in 2003, but an injured 23-year-old Venus is better than an injured 30-year-old Venus.
It is disappointing that Venus hasn’t won a grand slam singles title since Wimbledon 2008, but she did a good job of getting as far as she did at this year’s US Open having been out of action since Wimbledon due to injury and having been injured throughout the tournament. I don’t think there is anyone who owns Venus, not even Kim or Serena. The only thnig that owns Venus is injury.
