Title: Venus versus Hingis
Description: Who will win?


The Dav - May 3, 2006 10:39 AM (GMT)
Venus has just beaten Radwanska, so the match we've all been hoping for will happen tomorrow, but who will prevail???

I'm really torn! I'll vote later :unsure:

GS2 - May 3, 2006 10:50 AM (GMT)
I'm with you Dav - very torn!

I've gone with Hingis just because she's played a lot more this year - Venus has played what 3 matches since the US Open? Ok she's shown before she doesn't need much match practice to do well but I think this match may have come a bit too soon.

It's one of those rare matches where no scoreline would surprise me - it could be a straight sets win for either or a three set battle with either of them squeezing through at the end.

I agree GS, we really have no idea what to expect, yes Hingis is more match tight (it sounds weird saying that with Hingis out for so long!), but Venus has that ability to really attack her serve...

I'm leaning towards a tight scoreline, I doubt one women will sweep past the other...

Go venus! :D

It all depends on how either are playing really. It might be hard for Martina to get into Venus's service games, especially when she's blasting 118+ mph serves and then following it into the net with the drive volley. It's really tough to say. I mean if we're going to be black and white about it, venus won their last match on clay in straights so you never know. All i know is it'll be a great match.

Go venus! B)

I'd agree with GS and Dav - it's extremely tough to pick. Obviously you'd give the edge to Hingis because she's more match tight, but her serve looked vulnerable against Kirilenko and we all know how Venus loves to attack it. If Venus manages to serve consistently well, she could win this.

Come on Martina!!!!!
:wub:

grizzelda - May 3, 2006 06:49 PM (GMT)
Whilst I want Martina to win, I think this match is all about Venus. If she serves well, and attacks Martina's serve then I think she will take it quite easily. However the longer the match lasts and the tighter it gets, i would fancy Martina to take it.

I look forward to seeing a sublime on-the-run winner drop shot from Hingis. :o

That was a hard fought first set, Vee seems to have lost it a bit...

Nick Havoc - May 4, 2006 12:43 PM (GMT)
Good match. Hingis is just a couple points from the match now. Venus serving at 4-5 0-30.

Seems stuck there, though. Is there a delay in the match, or is it the live scoreboard that's delayed?

Ken001 - May 4, 2006 01:03 PM (GMT)
After several deuces, Venus breaks in the first gam of the final set!

Ken001 - May 4, 2006 01:08 PM (GMT)
Hingis breaks straight back!!!

I've got to go just as things get really interesting :(

Nick Havoc - May 4, 2006 01:47 PM (GMT)
And Venus takes it, 4-6 / 7-5 / 6-4. Well, I was pulling for Hingis, but I like both ladies, so good for her. :)

styeffo - May 4, 2006 01:50 PM (GMT)
A fine advert for the ladies game, from the stats it seems that way.

:D

SerenaW19 - November 24, 2006 10:16 PM (GMT)
