Deja vu

Well, if you missed the third set between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze, don’t worry. It was the exact same as the second set (if you missed both sets, don’t worry about that either, it wasn’t very exciting. Just get to a TV now for Venus and Justine).
Again, Chakvetadze won the first game, and then lost the next six, thanks to 21 unforced errors. It’s also hard to win a match when you win 42 percent of points on your first serve and 39 percent on your second serve.
Kuznetsova said she didn’t care who won the Venus-Henin match (obviously). Fine, but she’s 2-14 against Henin, so good luck with that one. She’s 3-3 against Venus. Something tells me she cares a little (although, to be fair, playing Venus at the U.S. Open isn’t easy either).
Incidentally, tennis fans may not think she’s better than Venus, Serena, Sharapova, Jankovic, and possibly even others, but Kuznetsova will be No. 2 in the world after this tournament. She may have had an easier draw, but she’s certainly no fluke.
I’m covering high school football this weekend, so this will be my last post, but I leave this blog in Jane’s extremely capable hands.
