US Open day 9

9092009

Yesterday two quarter finals were played on the women’s side in New York and the 2 winners were expected. Kim Clijsters beat Na Li from China with 6-2 6-4 in a pretty one-sided match. Li made way too many errors. The girl can play but on days like yesterday she goes for way too much. Kim played decent and that was more than enough to progress to the semi-finals. Her opponent will be Serena Williams who beat in-from Flavia Pennetta with 6-3 6-4. Serena played by far her best match yet this tournament and made great winners and hardly any unforced errors like in the earlier rounds. There were lots of fantastic rallies and on the baseline they were fairly equal. But Serena has that great serve, that gave her many free points. What a great semi-final. I really hope for Kim, but I think Serena will be too much for the new mommy.
