Serena defeats the defending champion in a tie breaker.
by bahamaderek on Oct.28, 2009, under Serena Williams, Venus Williams
Serena Williams survived what might prove to be her toughest match of the 2009 WTA Sony Ericsson Doha Championship, as she overcame a spirited and determined effort by her sister Venus, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6. The loss by the elder sister eliminated any chance she may have had of defending the title she won here last year, and it took a concerted effort from Serena to cope with her sister’s play, and the knowledge that she was sending her sister home. Serena who has clinched the #1 ranking again, is now at 2-0 in her matches and vitually guaranteed a place in the semi finals. There are four players with at 1-1 record.
Vera Zvonareva will take to the court tomorrow as a substitute for Dinara Safina when she plays Caroline Wozniacki.
