little sister, serena barely got the better of older sister venus williams in the recent U.S. Open quarterfinal that was fit for a final showdown, coming back in each set to win 7-6 (6), 7-6 (7). it was unfortunate that they play so early in the tournament since a pure classic match like this is so deserving for a spectacular conclusion of a grand slam tournament. bad seeding system i guess. organizers should've save the best for last. venus had all sorts of chances to take control, but in the end, as the intensity peaked and both women's reached their boiling point it was serena who pulled through. In the second tiebreaker, venus had four set points and serena saved them all!!! nothing short of a true champ!Thursday, September 4, 2008
