Wimbledon women's tennis news Day 12

As everyone thought, Serena Williams beat Vera Zvonareva comfortably to win the women's singles title. The final score was 6-3 6-2.

No luck for Vera Zvonareva later in the day when she and partner Elena Vesnina lost the women's doubles final to Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova by 7-6 (8-6) 6-2.

In my post on 25th June I mentioned the men's match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut who played the longest ever tennis match, 11 hours and five minutes and said that "Serena will probaly win the women's title and not spend that long on court all tournament".

Well, I added up the total of all Serena's matches and it came to 8 hours 36 minutes. That is just 25 minutes longer than the final set of that men's match.

Wimbledon women's tennis news Day 7

Kim Clijsters won the Belgian duel against Justine Henin. Justine is way short of the level she was at when she was winning Grand Slams.

Serena beat Maria. It was much closer than I had thought. I expected Serena to win quite comfortable.

The biggest shock of the day saw the third seed Caroline Wozniacki thrashed by the 62nd ranked Petra Kvitova in 46 minutes.

Henin, Clijsters renew rivalry at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England – Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters were evenly matched from the start of their professional rivalry, 12 years ago in a qualifying tournament near Tel Aviv. Henin closed out the victory by winning a second-set ... “It's a great opportunity for both of us,” Henin said. “To play each other again in a Grand Slam, I think it's something we couldn't expect a year ago. It's going to be interesting, very exciting.” A year ago, the two Grand Slam champions were ...

Wimbledon women's tennis news Day 4

Another easy day for some of the top women players. Serena Williams (2) beat Anna Chakvetadze 6-0 6-1, Caroline Wozniacki (3) beat Kai-Chen Chang 6-4 6-3 and Maria Sharapova (16) beat Ioana Raluca Olaru 6-1 6-4. But Daniela Hantuchova (24) went out to Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-1 2-6 4-6.

Although this is a women's tennis blog I must give a mention to John Isner and Nicolas Mahut who played the longest ever tennis match, 11 hours and five minutes. The final set was longer than the previous longest match ever. They took eight hours and 11 minutes just to complete the fifth set. The final score was 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68 to Isner. It would be nice to see those two guys somehow make a lot of money out of this, they deserve it. Serena will probaly win the women's title and not spend that long on court all tournament.
