Let’s start with the semi-final match itself between Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters, because no-one seems to talk about that. It was a great match on a very high level where Kim made sure Serena never got into her groove by playing aggressive herself and hitting the balls very deep. The match had some fantastic rallies and the longer they lasted the more likely that Kim came out on top. Now onto the drama. After Serena lost the first set she smacked her racket and got her first warning. At 6-5 for Kim in the second Serena got a foot fault which gave Kim the match point. If the foot fault was fair people are still discussing, but Serena showed her true self by yelling at the lines person” I swear to God, I will take this ball and push it down your throat”. And after that she said she was gonna kill the woman. Serena got her second warning and lost the point and the match. Not very Jehovah’s Witness-like don’t you think. Serena is just a sore loser and trailer trash. Because of this Kim never got the perfect ending to one of the best matches of her career, something she really deserved. But Kim stayed classy as usual and did not trash Serena afterwards.
Kim will play the final of the US open against Danish teen Caroline Wozniacki, who played a solid match against Yanina Wickmayer and made sure the make very little errors. That was enough yesterday night to make it to her very first slam final.I think though that if she wants to beat Kim she has to do a little more. Kim is the favorite after beating both Williams-sisters in her first slam after a 2 year pregnancy absence, but Wozniacki’ error-less game is not something to think light about. How fantastic would it be if Kim took the trophy home??!! Both Denmark and Belgium will sure be proud of their ladies!
