Serena routs Venus

Her excitement, though, was over the weeklong play of sister Venus despite big sister’s inability to slow down Serena.
“She’s had a great week,” Serena said

So has Serena, who won her 14th straight match here with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Venus Williams — the most one-sided result in the sisters’ long, intense rivalry.
Serena got started early with her powerhouse serves and rarely let Venus gain any ground.

Still, Serena understands better than almost anyone what her older sister has gone through in recent years due to injury and illness.
“I think (the week) is positive looking for her.

“She can see the next, her next tournament be really more positive,” Serena said.
Serena Williams was set to go for her second straight tournament title and third here overall late last night against Jelena Jankovic, a three-set winner over Stefanie Voegele.

It was the first time since 2009 the Williams sisters were playing each other in a tournament and the excitement was felt throughout the family. — AFP.
