Sports Thread #1 for 6/30/09: Wimbledon 2009, Ladies Quarterfinals, Serena Williams vs Victoria Azarenka Thread



Venus, Safina and Dementieva are in the semis. And Dementieva is awaiting the winner of this match. Some people think Azarenka will win this match. I don't think that will be the case, at all. But we'll see.

11:06 AM Great start to this match, as both players are hitting and moving beautifully so far. Winners and positive play with no sign of errors. Both are at their best right now.

11:17 Serena with the break, up 4-2. Victoria Azarenka is playing well , but Serena is playing so well at the moment.

Now, it is 5-2 Serena. Will Azarenka hold strong?

11:35 AMFirst set to Serena. And then, survived two break points, and hit three straight aces. Amazing....6-2, 1-0.

11:54 AMAzarenka with the break, she has stayed the course in this match, as she takes a 3-2 lead now in the set. Serena blinked there.

12:01 AMAnd Serena Williams breaks back, to even the match up at 3-3.

12:10 AMAnd Serena breaks Azarenka again, and is one game away from another Wimbledon semifinal, as Azarenka bounces the racket in disgust.

12:13And there it is, Serena Williams has won 6-2, 6-3 over the dangerous and talented Victoria Azarenka of Belarus. It was a master class from Serena today against a player who some actually thought would win this tournament.
