Venus turns 30 but hasn’t lost a step…..
by bahamaderek on Jun.21, 2010, under Ekaterina Makarova, Venus Williams
“Everything was pretty straightforward,” Williams said. “I’ve been practicing on grass since Wednesday, so I had a good feel for it. I was ready to go for it.”
Williams, who made headlines around the world in Paris with her ‘illusion’ dress, wore another unique design Monday, though nowhere near as eyebrow-raising.
“Here it’s all about white. There’s no illusion this time,” Williams said. “My dress was inspired by Tina Turner. She’s an amazing, amazing artist. She’s a survivor – she reinvented herself. Plus she looks great. I’ve loved her forever.”
Next up for Williams is Ekaterina Makarova, a 64 76(2) winner over Agnes Szavay. Makarova is fresh off her first title at Eastbourne last week – so she has built momentum on grass. They will be playing for the first time.
