What we DIDN’T expect was that Venus was going to be dominated in her match against last year’s semi-finalist Tsvetana Pironkova – who actually beat her last year in the quarter-finals.
Venus had lost the set 2-6 and we rejoined the match with Venus serving at 2-3.
She was broken in that service game, and Pironkova held, albeit with a bit of a sticky game there.
Venus held on in the next game (at 2-5) and we noted that Richard Williams had actually already left. Premonition, perhaps? Pironkova came out and served for the match with surprisingly few nerves taking out the former five-times Wimbledon Champion was joining l’il sis in exiting Wimbledon in the Fourth round.
