View Related News
There is not much to say about this match except traditionally Venus’ main opponent has been herself. Today, she held herself together and kept the unforced errors to a minimum. V. Williams restrained her excitement after winning her 6th and final game in the 2nd set.
I sometimes wonder if Venus and Serena hold two straws before their match to decide which sister gets to win. But seriously, congratulations to the Williams sisters. I’m sure their Mom and Dad will have to see-saw between joy and sorrow.

Venus Williams is known for her offensive baseliner game, although she is also a skillful volleyer and effectively utilizes her long reach and quickness at the net. She said during an interview at the 2008 Australian Open that she was working to improve her volley.
Her serve on average is one of the most powerful on the WTA tour. Williams is known for her powerful two-handed backhand, which is her stronger and more consistent side. Occasionally her forehand has been prone to break down in tough matches.
Venus Williams is the chief executive officer of her interior design firm "V Starr Interiors" located in Jupiter, Florida. Williams's company designed the set of the "Tavis Smiley Show" on PBS, the Olympic athletes' apartments as part of the U.S. bid package for New York City to host the 2012 Olympic Games, and residences and businesses in the Palm Beach, Florida area.
In 2007, Williams teamed with retailer Steve & Barry's to launch her own fashion line EleVen. "I love fashion and the idea that I am using my design education to actually create clothing and footwear that I will wear on and off the tennis court is a dream come true for me. The vision has been to create a collection that will allow women to enjoy an active lifestyle while remaining fashionable at the same time. I'm thrilled with everything we've created to launch EleVen."
In 2001, Williams was named one of the 30 most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal

Dear Venus Ebony Williams,
My heartfelt thanks to you on your tremendous win. You deserve it and much more. I think you have been extremely gracious to your sister, who does not deserve all that you have sacrificed for her. She would not have done the same for you I am sure. I am hoping that you will start thinking of Venus and what is best for her. You are so talented in so many ways and on the tennis courts is one of those where you shine brightly. I know that the commentators and everyone else always focus on your sister Serena, but you deserve praise too. I am one that has always believed in you and support you 100%. Continue to hold your head high and be proud of yourself.
Your number one fan,
Mrs. C.W.Roddy
