If you are not out here for the Venus Williams Jelena Jankovic match, turn it on right now. Jankovic has her on the run and just won the first set 6-4 in 48 minutes. But this one isn’t even close to over.

Although it’s dangerous to make predictions, Venus has been playing better as this goes along and doesn’t look like she’s ready to give up much in the second. The Serbian has won the last three matchups and could easily turn the top half semifinal into the No-Williams semi.

UPDATE: Venus won, as you can see from the above pic.
