I have begun to watch the replay of ivanovic and Williams yesterday. I did see the ending yesterday but I missed the beginning. Two major points I have noticed is that ivanovic's ball toss was going anywhere im surprised she didnt completely miss the serve at one point. The second is that Venus and ana seemed to be rushed on the ball. Is this zurich indoor court one of the fastest?

This is a close first set, on serve so far....

Looks like a tiebreak looms.

Easy win for Venus in the tiebreak!

She takes it 7-1....

Can the Italian come back from a set down?

Congratulations to the extraordinary Venus Williams!

Conosu - it really is refreshing to see you give credit where it is due.

Much more balanced approach if I might say so

Cheers Duggietoo.

You of course know Maria Sharapova (my favourite female player) is not in action until 2009.

Hopefully, when Masha returns, so will my enthusiasm to restore 'balance' in my submissions where it rightfully belongs!

Nothing wrong with favourites - but a true fan can always recognise the achievements of others.

I too want to see Sharapova back, because on what I am seeing there is actually little real competition for JJ.

Frankly I have big doubts about Ivanovic and the Williams do tend to have injury problems.

Couple of bright stars on the horizon but I do like the determination of MS and her tenacity.

Good win considering the last 3 matches..... Venus is doing pretty well for someone who was classed by many people as totally finished 2 or 3 years ago.........

Expect her to pick up another GS next year and probably a couple more titles too.

Well done Venus, I watched the match online before I saw Hull city. She showed she does have some consistency because pennetta was doing really well and in my opinion Venus took a lot off her shots to keep balls in play. Today the tides turned and pennetta undid her work. Aswell how often do you see a game of aces on the WTA.

I hope radwanska doesnt go on a win streak and take linz and quebec titles. Although I dont think she entered quebec

Congratulations Venus. About *time* you got another title to go with that Wimbledon...

Nine years down the track and it looks like you are going to be the last champion of this 25-year old event, which makes the win that little bit more special.

Well done.
