The Williams sisters have dominated Wimbledon in recent years, and 2008 will again have a
Williams taking out the title. Both sisters got through their semi finals in straight sets, although both
were taken to tie-breaks in the second.
Venus had the tougher match, taking on 5th seed Elena Dementieva, and the Russian had a chance
to level the match when she held a set point in the second set tie-break. But Venus quickly put an end
to those hopes, taking the final 3 points and completing the match in quick time. Serena had a
comfortable first set against China's Jie Zheng, but the second set was taken to a tie-break. But that
was where the contest ended, with Serena breezing through the second set decider to set up a family
affair for the final.
The last of the mens' quarter finals was completed, but not before a 5-hour epic contest of switching
fortunes. In the end Rainier Schuttler broke the serve of French journeyman Arnaud Clement in the
14th game of the 5th set to finally take the match; one that will long live in the memory of those who
were on court 1 to witness it. But it will take a mighty effort for Schuttler to recover from such a draining
match before taking on a rested Rafael Nada' in tomorrow's semi.
