Venus Overpowers Sharapova at Wimbledon
Thursday's match was a stirring 7-6 (2), 6-1 victory over the defending champion, yet it was so much more than that. It was the strongest statement to date that Williams is back on top of her game, back to being a player who was ranked No. 1 and won four Grand Slam titles in 2000-01.
Hampered by injuries, burdened by erratic play, surpassed by a younger sibling and others, Williams hadn't advanced beyond the quarterfinals at a major in two years.
"After the match, I was like: 'OK, you can stop focusing now. Have a little bit of fun,'" Williams said. "Today, for me, was just one point at a time, just sticking to my game and not getting off and losing focus of what I needed to do. So the end of the match, that was the arrival of getting pumped up."
There's still another match to go, of course, but Williams left the All England Club not knowing who she'll face in Saturday's final.

I always cheer for the Williams sisters. I mean, what is women's tennis without them? Would anybody even care? I sure as hell wouldn't.
