Venus beats Maria......wow what a match. Venus was at her sizzling best.....''Dying swan devoured as giant bird of prey returns to SW19'' according to the Thetimes.co.uk.

Ofcourse I wanted Venus to win, but in this fashion...absolutely unexpected. She dominated from the first point and however much Maria tried she could not get in to the match.The best was Venus's demeanour through out the match.She looked so calm and serene, while Maria looked all nerves.

I don't like Maria, no particular reason...but she gives out an attitude ...which I dont like.

So now Venus to meet Kuznetsova.....and am hoping for the best. Dream would be an Ana vs Venus final, but looking at Justine's play, I doubt whether anyone will be able to distract her from her sole objective of winning Wimbledon. Saturday will tell.
