WTA P Charleston 4/2-4/8/2012

Stosur just double faulted. Someone in the audience yelled, "Yeah! Bring it, Venus!"

[JTContinental]

So far, Stosur is teeing off on Vee's second serve and hammering winners in to the corners, while Venus is mostly hammering losers six feet long.

Oops, wrong thread.

After a good first set from Sammy, that was mostly mediocre to awful tennis from both players, with Stosur being less awful at the end.

Funny, I thought big portions of the third (particularly the 3-2 game) were high-quality stuff.

I'll try and move it.

Venus still able to play top level tennis at time, but kind of isn't able to last the entire tournament any more.

This is starting to look like Serena's to lose. (shhhh - did I say that?)

Ree has started this match on fire ... and her hairdo looks something like a flame.
