After dispatching Ai Sugiyama, 6-2, 6-1 in straight sets, Serena Williams said that she felt she was not playing her best tennis, was disappointed that a possible match up with her sister, Venus, would some so early (the quarterfinals) and that she would be busy with other ventures after the U.S. Open was over.
But much of her press conference had to with the subject of Venus. One reporter suggested that CBS is "praying" that one of them is in the final. Serena replied: "Well that's really nice to hear. I'm praying that I'll be there myself. So say some prayers for me."
It was poor Sugiyama that didn't have a prayer at Arthur Ashe today. Serena was her dominant self, focused and seemingly bent on playing the short matches that she has said she loves. One more win for both Serena and Venus and we've got probably the best quarterfinal match in U.S. Open history.
And isn't that the shame of it all?
