1. It seems like Venus can't do a thing against her.....

she's got a response for everything.... this is not going to be good. The woman is 40 years old!!! Yikes..... it's not going be good.....

2. Kimiko used to be a really good player

I'm enjoyed watching her make her comeback. Seems to still have a lot left in the tank.

[a kennedy]

5. Tough competitor....wow

[Iggo]

14. You mean Kimiko Date?

Damn, haven't heard that name in a long time!

[bigwillq]

18. Yes. That's who Venus played

She came back after a long retirement.

[a kennedy]

4. Whew, Venus got her groove back.....

:applause:

[MaineDem]

3. Venus is coming back

Hope Date-Krumm can keep up the pressure. She needs to get her first serves in.

6. Tiebreak

first set

7. Great first set (nt)

[a kennedy]

8. D*mn, tough loss for Venus

:cry:

[bigwillq]

9. Venus not looking so good

in the second set either

10. Maybe if venus didn't think Flashdance was making a comeback she

would have worn a more competitive outfit.

Is it me, or is she grunting more than she has in the past?

[a kennedy]

12. wouldn't know about the grunting.....I've got it on mute

can't stand the Enberg guy, and thank gawd he's retiring after this year!!! FINALLY!! can not deal with him. UGH. :puke:

[joeybee12]

13. Tells you what I know...I thought he was still with NBC...and it's on ESPN...

I know Chris is commentating for ESPN, but maybe Dick Enberg has some sort of co-deal???

Anyway, she looks like she's gonna win...I really am pulling for Kimi...she has very few chances left at her age.

[Iggo]

15. If memory serves, Dick Enberg does Wimbeldon...

...no matter what network he's working for.

[a kennedy]

11. GO VENUS GO.....

2nd set won......now just one more set, and it's a WIN in the 2nd round.

[a kennedy]

16. woohoo,

WHEW!!! nail biter right down to the nubs..... but glad Venus pulled it out. :applause: :applause: :applause: but congrats to the pip squeak too....great job.

[bigwillq]

17. YAY!

Venus! :bounce:
