Sorry to bother you!
But could you please tell me every exhibition (male or female) that is coming up before the Aussie Open?
I am getting really confused!
^Also, thanks for posting facebook one, because had I seen twitter one (doesn't mention it has to do with EleVen) first I would have gotten my hopes extremely high that it might have been 1998 Oklahoma City trophy pic....but now I know it won't be.
Groundies looked good and some of the movement was great.
Worried about her stamina as she seemed to be trying really hard and getting pretty tired, and VERY worried about the serve and whether we're ever going to see it as a huge weapon again.
Hopefully she just acted like she was really trying, and was actually in Rena exo mode
Btw, yeah, I was kinda worried about the serve also. As at first she served very weak, but then she started adding more power. I kinda think this might be Venus trying one or two new things as in Luxembourg she said she was going more for percentage than power. So she might want to mix her serve more and she used this exhibition as an experiment.
Her ground-stroke games looked fine though, but still, too many errors
Btw, I dunno if it was aired or not, but after the match there was a talk-show by the court about Kim (this was between the singles and doubles match), and Venus was one of the guests. They both said nice things to each other, basically (and Clijsters mentioned Serena as well). Venus said she first noticed Clijsters when she was playing Serena in 3R of USO 1999 and was thinking: "Who is this girl trying to beat my sister?". Then Venus said about her last two encounters with Clijsters at the USO (2009 and 2010) and Clijsters ended up winning the title in both occassions. Clijsters (jokingly) said Venus was her good luck charm, then; and Venus answered Clijsters was her bad luck charm, lol. Then, Clijsters said because she is gone now so Venus can win the Open.
And I do hope she was really in exhibition-mode (like Serena) and let Clijsters have that win. This was her very last match anyway... :shrug:
Yes Kim, you broke our hearts and spitted each bit out in US Open 2010
As for the exhibition, aren't these things supposed to be close....like at least one 7-5 or tiebreak set?!
I am concerned about Vee's serve but I guess we'll see in Melbourne how it really is.
Just praying that she is practicing her serve during the off season. If Vee could do what Serena did a couple of years ago with her serve, she wouldn't have that many problems in her matches.
I'm liking her groundstrokes and volleys a lot, just needs a bit more of consistency and that's pretty much it. Comparing Luxembourg with Miami, she looks fresher and ready to compete. At least we can all agree that Sjogren's is definitely "improving". Come on Vee, you still have too much game for the tour.

Anyone noticed WTA new website I like all the improvements, but does anyone know why it now shows that Venus has won 24 000 000 in prize Money.... If I am not wrong it used to be around 27 mil,any idea on why they change it?
