Serena Williams in the Finals, USTA is Giddy
Serena Williams only need an hour-and-a-half to defeat Dinara Safina in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. Williams really just let Safina implode: the Russian had 41 unforced errors, and won only 29 percent of points off her second serve.
After the match, Venus Williams was waiting for her kid sister outside the women's locker room with Hank Kuehne. An absolutely elated Arlen Kantarian, the CEO of the USTA, strolled by and tapped Venus Williams arm and then began clapping his hands. He gave her a thumbs up, and smil

I have an urge to run up to this chick and place a glass of water on her ass. Eat your heart out Kim K.
Laid back and fab. Yes, I’m ignoring the elbows that are screaming to anyone who will listen for some damn lotion. She gets a pass for killin’ it in the Olympics. YBF chick indeed.

*Venus Williams and her sister Serena will play each other in a quarterfinal match scheduled for today at the U.S. Open in New York.
Is Serena Really a Lock?
Serena has lost to both Dinara Safina and Jelena Jankovic this year. She lost to Safina at the Qatar Telecom German Open, a match which ended in a third-set tiebreaker. And she lost to Jankovic at the Australian Open in straight sets (though Serena has also recently beaten her, at the Sony Ericsson Open).
Safina and Serena are underway now at Ashe, and Safina is up a break. So there. 0 comments

Jankovic Moves to Her First Grand Slam Final, Wants a Protein Drink
The occasionally gloomy Jelena Jankovic is headed to her first Grand Slam final after defeating Elena Dementieva 6-4, 6-4, in a sloppy, nervous match. In total, there were 8 breaks of serve and 66 unforced errors.
Jelena Jankovic calmly strolled to the locker room after the match--generally a moment heavy in emotions--like it was an easy third-round win. Dinara Safina, who is about to play Serena Williams for the other spot in the finals, was in the hallway and tried to stop Jankovic and congratulate her,

Just a few weeks ago in Beijing, Venus and Serena Williams stood hand-in-hand atop the gold medal platform, celebrating their Olympic doubles victory. Now it's back to opposite sides of the net for a quarterfinal showdown at the U.S. Open. Ah, the uniquely complex relationship between sisters.

The Numbers Don't Lie: Women's Semis Look Good
For all the dismal boredom of this year's women's draw, the talk of crazy upsets among the females, and the theory that Serena has this one locked up, the women's semifinals look...surprisingly legit.
3 of the top 5 seeds will play in semifinal matches on the women's side, the same as the men's side. And these are four players at the top of their game: they've only dropped 3 sets between them so far this tournament, a remarkable statistic over a total of 20 matches. Serena is no sure thing, though her pow
Querrey Falls to Nadal, Safina Advances, Mauresmo Is Out
Sam Querrey just proved to the world that he's a real player. He made Rafael Nadal fight for 3 hours and 13 minutes in an incredibly satisfying four-set match. Nadal took the last set 6-3, thanks in large part to Querrey's seven blown break points in the seventh game.
In other action, the 2006 Wimbledon Champion Amelie Mauresmo lost very quietly to Flavia Pennetta 6-3, 6-0. Dinara Safina won in straight sets again, this time over Anna-Lena Groenefeld, and she is looking by far to be the best non-Williams
The Argument for Venus
I wanted to pick Serena Williams tonight, if for no other good reason than to buck conventional wisdom by going against the Wimbledon champ, Venus Williams. But a friend of mine who served as our unofficial resident Serena/Venus expert last year has convinced me otherwise.
Goldburn: this is the best i've seen Venus play at the beginning of a grand slam in a long time. even the last three wimbledons she won, she started out slow. she's moving great and her forehands are staying in. Serena is playing well

Serena's Vindication
She's moving closer toward that goal. Even though her sister blew 10 set points last night, Serena showed a focused intesnity that we haven't seen since the days she dominated the tour. Before the tournament began, we wondered if she even had any good tennis left in her. Her determination has been back for the better part of the year, but she just wasn't winning, and it was hard to tell why. In the past if she wanted to win, like at the 2007 Australian Open, she won.
The key last night, she said, was adj
