Maybe It's time for Venus

As you'll note, the last post was about Serena's continued reemergence into the tennis elite. Serena fell to the current best player in women's tennis, so don't discount her return. Venus has meanwhile made the Williams-family comeback a 2-2 affair.

Venus Williams is playing tennis as well as I've ever seen her play. In true American flavor, Venus dominated Maria Sharapova on the 4th 6-1, 6-3. Venus was like lightning in the first set - hitting the lines, showing her power and prancing across the court before Sharapova could seemingly notice.

Sharapova elevated her game to an exceptional level in the second set, but it mattered little. Venus swept through Sharapova and challengers Svetlana Kuznetsova and Ana Ivanovic to return to her home - the Wimbledon final.

Expect Venus to utterly dominate France's Marion Bartoli tomorrow. Why? Because when the Williams sisters are at their pinnacle they lose to no one. Except of course when they have to play each other in the finals.
