Final Four: Women’s Field at Wimbledon
Venus Williams is another step closer to defending her 2007 Wimbledon title. In one of the most crazy, convuluted Wimbledons in recent memory, Williams became the first woman into the semifinals after dispatching Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4, 6-3. ‘
Elena Dementieva, the highest remaining seed at number five, managed to come through a tough quarterfinal match to set up a meeting with Venus in the semis. Dementieva blew Nadia Petrova away with a 6-1 first set, but Petrova bounced back and won a tiebreak second set. The swing set went to Dementieva with two breaks at 6-3.
On the other half of the draw, Jie Zheng is already up a set on Nicole Vaidisova, winning it 6-2. You know, the further Zheng moves in the tournament, the better it makes Ana Ivanovic’s loss to her look. Don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t justify it or make it ok. It’s just that when you start out with something so horrible as the beating Ivanovic took from a relative no-name, it doesn’t take a whole lot to make it look a little better.
Agnieszka Radwanska or Serena Williams in the bottom quarter?
