H2H Venus leads 9-2

Elena has not beaten Venus in more than 5 years (since 2004)

and the last meeting Elena was spanked 6-0, 6-1 in stanford.

Can Elena finally win???? i say yes!! :bounce::bounce:

If Lena still had bangs, Venus would slap them clean off.

It's like the tournament directors said, "Let's plan an entire event around making Lena D. look at bad as possible." I hear they offered Msykina a couple million to come out of retirement just to beat Lena, but Myskina's answer was so contradictory and confusing they gave up and just gave her a first round match against Vee instead.

My two favs against each other, I hope that both will qualify bor SF, but that is just not realistic!
If Venus doesnt play horrible tennis, she will win this, Elena hates the game of Venus, it got even worse over the last years.

But last yeah in Doha it was a pretty tough fight, and if this will go over 3 sets, Elena will have definetly an advantage!

Elena has to face venus first AGAIN? :eek: Just like last year... I was hoping for elena to build momentum and face one of the others first, guess that won't be happening...

Venus in 2.

A 9-2 head to head record does not automatically give Venus the win here because she's trying to come back from a knee injury and therefore no one knows how she's going to play.

It just so happens that Venus in recent years has always played well against Elena not allowing her to take control. Otherwise Elena has a game that can disrupt anyone.

Anyway it depends on Venus and how healthy she is and how well she plays. If she's so so, Elena would do good to take advantage.

So Venus in 2 if healthy.

Elena in 3 if not.

Whatever the result I expect it to be a two set affair. I hope Lena can do this just to have a chance at a 2nd big title.
