Serena Defeats Venus in Quarterfinals Match

Comments (3)


Looks like Serena got her revenge for that Wimbledon match. The two sisters battled in a quarterfinal match last at the U.S. Open in New York with Serena winning 7-6, 7-6 in a tense two-hour 25 minute match. Venus had her chance though, scoring a total of 10 set points which could have forced a third set, but she couldn't hang on to win a set.

"At 5-3, 40-love [in the second set], I thought, 'Wow, these should be match points -- and they weren't,'" Venus told ESPN. "I felt like I was always in control. I'm a very good closer. I've never had a match like that in my life. I guess there's always a first."
"She made a couple of errors," Serena added, "and it was really luck for me, because she never makes those errors."

Serena now goes on to face Dinara Safina in a semi-final match on Friday. Back in July, Venus defeated Serena in two straight sets for her fifth Wimbledon title.
