Title: Day 6 - Friday 1st June
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 09:42 AM (GMT)
Anyone watching Jankovic and Williams?
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 09:44 AM (GMT)
Missed the start, and joined it with Jankovic a break up at 4-2. Venus was hardly awake and screwed up a great chance to break back. Looking like Jankovic will take the first set 6-4.
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 09:45 AM (GMT)
Very easy set for Jankovic, Venus not accurate enough and agressive enough. So much for this great match! :whistle:
SerenaW19 - June 1, 2007 09:47 AM (GMT)
Cmon Venus! :( Your forehand is making you look like a rank amateur :angry: Time to turn it on, at least win a set!
I mean Venus is hitting all the winners and Jankovic is just waiting for the errors to fly off Venus' forehand returns. I don't think a single game has gone to deuce yet :o
Shame Venus started off so poorly as if she'd held her serve the set wouldn't be over yet.
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 09:53 AM (GMT)
Break point for Venus...........shes got it.

Yes, her forehand is bloody crap it has to be said. Warming it up a bit now though. She just broke Jankovic but that was more Jankovic chucking it. Not a good match so far.

First Duce of the match :D
Are we coming to life maybe....? :D
SerenaW19 - June 1, 2007 09:59 AM (GMT)
Well Jankovic chokes for Justine so she can joke for Venus too :P
I've had enough of Venus having to work hard for her matches :lol:

Venus breaks back now so slightly better stuff going on :phew:

5-2 to venus second set, looks like a third, she is starting to run Jankovic around and getting errors from her. Why Jankovic doesn't use a deep slice to buy herself more time i'll never know but that is the problem with a lot of the women...
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 10:22 AM (GMT)
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 10:22 AM (GMT)
Set Point williams...........clawed back to deuce
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 10:30 AM (GMT)
JJ breaks again! :o
Back on serve in the 2nd B)
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 10:30 AM (GMT)
Venus was serving for the set and Jelena broke. Was a clever game form Jelena. :)

Indeed it was
But now set point for venus.........set to williams.
SerenaW19 - June 1, 2007 10:35 AM (GMT)
Well we have a third set :D 4-6 6-4
Cmon Venus keep it up :pray:
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 10:35 AM (GMT)
Venus finally took the set after 3 attempts on Jelena's error. Final set then ... place your bets :wacko:
Sam - June 1, 2007 10:36 AM (GMT)
one set all...
Will be an intriguing final set - but I fancy Jankovic to take it, she herself lost her way in that second set and if she pulls herself together I think she should win...
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 10:36 AM (GMT)
They Just showed the stats:
First serve JJ = 82%
First Serve VW = 48%
:o

Come on Jelena - just lobbyed for a pinned thread for he in the WTA section so she had better win :D

If VW can put that up past 60% it might help her cause...

Yeah tbh Jelena shoudl really have won that 2nd set. She is a good little player, and one of the few who can actually use the net with confidence.
Sam - June 1, 2007 10:51 AM (GMT)
Jelena breaks!!! 2-1! :yahoo:
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 10:51 AM (GMT)
And Jelena breaks for a 2-1 lead final set.
SerenaW19 - June 1, 2007 10:51 AM (GMT)
If Venus just got a few more of her first serves in, she could've won this match by now.
I fear that break will be fatal much like in the first set, Venus didn't quite keep the intensity level up there.

well her games too low-percentage to be able to consistently keep all that up unfortunetly.
It's not 100% hit shots that win you tennis matches, but 90%
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 10:59 AM (GMT)
Another break point for JJ :o
Sam - June 1, 2007 11:00 AM (GMT)
4-1 double-break it's nearly fatal now...
SuperBRAT - June 1, 2007 11:04 AM (GMT)
Venus needs to get serious match practice in or this is going to happen in numerous big matches. She neeeds to wake up and smel the coffee big time.
TeamJustine - June 1, 2007 11:04 AM (GMT)
Alas the end is nigh..........:lol:
