Russia x Williams

For the Maroon Group.
Match 2: Elena Dementieva def. Venus Williams 3-6 7-6(6) 6-2
There is a tennis saying* that says, “It’s no Elena Dementieva match unless there’s drama”. Today, that prophet spoke only the truth. Lena managed to come up from a set and 1-3 0-30 down. Colour me surprised. I was making fun of her Year-End Championships record on Twitter (5-16 before today) and how she wins as many sets there as the YEC as I would if I played. It’s obvious what’s happening here. Lena follows my Twitter and likes to watch me being a fool of myself. I’m sorry, Lena. It was all good fun, I swear. Oh well.
You can watch the match point here:
Match 3: Serena Williams def. Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-6(6) 7-5
Kuzzy was playing good. But then she choked. Twice. End of story.
(Also, her shirt was too small for her body but let’s not talk about that. Please.)
(And Serena‘s dress? Gorgeous. I wants. With the matching headband and wristbands. Please.)
*Author’s note: I made up that saying.

Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
