Will Venus even try?...lol
That's actually a great question.
Serena is chasing history.
That's actually a great question.
Serena is chasing history.
should be a good show- tons of winners and yet littered with tons of unforced errors
career h2h - 15-11 in favor of Serena. Serena is clearly the better player as the aging stars wind down their terrific careers
handicap is Venus +5. That's a big number.
Since 2008, hardcourt matches involving these two; Vs the line +5 Venus is 5-0-2.....impressive
the over/under is 20; on hardcourt career, 8-6 in favor of the over
all depends on Venus. She can brilliant or horrific. She needed three sets to beat the likes of Puig, Falconi, ugh. YET dispatched up and comer adnn in form Bencic in straights!! (Bencic beat Serena in Toronto) .If she's in form and is SERVING WELL today, she covers the plus 5 and the match goes over............. last hurrah at Flushing for venus?

Did he say "gorilla" or "guerilla"?
ESPN announcer Doug Adler came under fire on social media for a comment he made about Venus Williams during her second-round Australian Open match against Stefanie Voegele on Tuesday.
Adler’s comment was captured by Twitter users who shared video of his commentary during the match. He can be heard narrating, “She misses a first serve and Venus is all over her. You see Venus move in (and) put the gorilla effect on. Charging.”
The Twitterverse was quick to respond to Adler’s choice of words.
