Henin and Serena are always referred to as the two best players on the WTA. With this victory, Venus beat Marion Bartoli in straights who beat Jelena and Justine. She beat the # 2, 5, and 6 players in the world in straights.
Yes. lol I've always felt Venus was the best player on tour. Serena is good, she has good fight. Justine is good she has good consistancy; however, Ive always felt when Venus plays her Best tennis vs. anyone else on tour she will win. Serena included... I.E. look at the 2003 wimbledon final Serena barely beat a totally injured Venus.... If Venus can stay healthy she will win either the us open of Austrailian if not both coming up....
if she can remain injury free, she has the opportunity to re-establish her hardcourt credentials.
remember, she is the most successful active player at the U.S. Open with two titles and two wins. she used to dominate there and her results are so impressive, as she has only lost once before the QF!
