Well, well, well...
... look who's back!
I have to say that I was not surprised at all that Agnes took Venus out, even though due to my intense sports superstition I was too afraid to actually contemplate that possibility in my mind beforehand, much less say it out loud anywhere. But I don't see how this can actually be that big a surprise to anyone-- Venus had gone 3 sets in her first two matches, Agnes was winning easily. Venus, due to some bad luck with scheduling, was playing every day; Agnes, presumably, was well-rested and has been rounding back into form for awhile. Add in that clay is Venus's weakest surface, and this was obviously going to be Agnes's best chance to take her down.
Oh well, Venus. You defended your points and I read somewhere that every time you've gone out in the 3rd round of RG, you've followed it up by winning Wimbledon. See you at SW19!
Agnes's opponent in the 4th round will be Dominika Cibulkova, who's also been moving solidly and quietly through the draw. That could be an interesting match. Ah, so happy to see Agnes playing well again. One final thought...
... you and your doubles partner with the PDAs. Calm that shit down, girls.
