Serena Demolishes Justine
Defending champion Serena Williams beat World #1 Justine Henin at the quarterfinals of the Sony Ericsson Open 6-2 6-0 in an error-filled, dominating display of tennis over her arch-nemesis. Later her sister Venus Williams lost 6-4 6-4 to Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova to avoid the all-Williams semifinal. In the other half of the draw, 3 Russians, Elena Dementieva, Dinara Safina and Vera Zvonareva together with Jelena Jankovic will be competing for the other semifinal berths on Wednesday.
So sweet a victory! The only two players I ever cheer to lose are JH and Nadal, roll on Rena, keep shuting the naysayers up!
