After two weeks and seven matches Venus Williams (7) showed why she is so good on grass. In just under two hours Venus dispatched her younger sister, Serena (6), 7-5, 6-4.

It was an unusual two weeks in the women’s draw; never before had the top four seeds been dispatched as early as happened this year. And the Williams sisters took advantage of a weakened field with both of them racing to the finals. The only two sets that either dropped were the two that Serena did in the finals to her big sister.

Venus, who is known as a slow starter did just that. She lost her serve early and was down a break until she broke back at 4-3 to even the score. It then took one more break for her to win the first set 7-5. In that first set it seemed like Venus had a bit better tools today than Serena did. And what was expected to be a server’s duel was just that.

Oddly, though, it was Serena that won in nearly every category except for second serve point conversions. Venus converted on 56% where Serena converted on a dismal 23%. And that was the difference. Well that and maybe Venus having a bit more range on the court. And that range can really help when the winds were swirling as they were on Center Court today.

This makes Venus one of only three women to have won five Wimbledon titles in the Open era. The only other two are Martina Navratilova (9) and Steffi Graf (7). But it will take a bit more work to eclipse those numbers. When asked her thoughts if she could reach this milestone she said, “Oh my god that would be the ultimate. I am not sure I have that much time.”

But as important of a match this was today it seemed a bit overshadowed by the girls’ singles. Laura Robson, 14 years old, was taking on Noppawan Lertcheewakarn of Thailand. In a seesaw match Robson took home, and when I say home I mean just a few minutes away since she is a Brit, the title 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

This is a huge moment in British tennis. In a country that has been starved for tennis talent, let alone female talent, Robson shines a ray of hope on the future. There have been very few females that have won titles this important at this age and now the pressure will mount on the young gal from England.

This is a girl with a lot of tools. She has a serve that is as strong as some on the WTA tour, fine ground strokes and is a lefty. She will now be taken into a whirlwind of publicity and pressure and hopefully the Lawn Tennis Association will try and keep her head on straight. It is very easy for players and parents to lose their way when winning such a big junior event.

So all that’s left now is the Gentlemen’s singles, as they call it here. And the most questionable thing about tomorrow is the weather forecast. Thunderstorms are on the horizon for the next two days and none are sure if we will be seeing history tomorrow.

But when this match is on, it will be on. Both players are intently serious on winning tomorrow. Roger Federer believes he is playing some of his best tennis, while Rafael Nadal is hoping to play his best tennis. Federer has played unmistakably well; while Nadal has had some tough moments. Even yesterday in a three set win it looked at a few points that he was a little tense on the grass.

Federer is going for number six and the Open era record, while Nadal is trying to put a new Spanish name on the Roll of Honour in over 40 years. The likelihood, however, is you will be seeing number six. And that does not take anything away from the Spaniard. It is just how good Mr. Federer is.
