Has to be said, quite good from Venus, hitting some HUGE shots, but she was anything but bad. Dinara playing like the world No.1, being down on numerous occasions but refusing to give up and fighting tooth and nail on every point. After today, with great performances from Svetlana and Dinara we can expect a great final! Right now, Dinara is my favourite to win RG. Venus has also proved this week that she has what it takes also, but today was not her day. 3DFs from Dinara in one game at 5-4

[alwayshingis]

The last game :lol:

But REALLY good stuff in that third set.

 

[RenaSlam.]

Oh well. Good week for Venus, good win for Safina.

If Safina can only beat Venus 6-4 on clay, then Venus should feel good about her game above all else.

 

[Dinayer]

Venus

 

[Craig.]

I think I'm gonna puke.

Safina's attitude was fucking disgusting, fistpumpimg after every single point. And her neverending luck really is neverending.

Venus played like shit for most of the second and third sets.

 

[fouc]

Dinara, you are the real no 1

Re: Rome SF:Safina defeats Venus 6-7(3) 6-3 6-4

[Elwin.]

Great match :bowdown:
Lots of respect for both of them!
Safina showed she can be a real #1 :yeah:

 

[Billabong]

Venus played very well in the first set, very high quality match overall, but Safina is in better shape it seems, as Venus looked powerless at the end, very tired... She needs more match play for sure, but still very good effort:yeah:
