WIMBLEDON 07 - Perfect Way
29/06/2007:

Regal Justine moved into the 4th round, and second week of the Championships
in a smooth, and perfect way by defeating Elena Vesnina 6-1 6-3 in 52
minutes. The 6x grand slam champion now has a weekend to rest, and focus
sights on the adventures ahead. Justine will play Patty Schynder on Monday in
the round of 16.

Justine started Friday bright and early at 11:00am on Court 2, the tennis
world's favorite urban myth dubbed the "Graveyard of Champions. As with most
stories - the facts have been stretched, and the actual famous players who
lost on Court 2, other than a pre-grand slam John McEnroe in 1979, were all
Wimbledon title winners. The curse of Court 2 doesn't stick on a Roland
Garros champion as Justine proved today.

The world #1 began by breaking Vesnina's opening service game, and it set the
melody for the entire match. Justine had a wonderful day with an incredible
91% average in two sets of winnings first serves, while Elena Vesnina was at
0 over 0 in breakpoints. The first set was over in 22 minutes at 6-1.

The second set was no different as Justine glided on the grass, but Vesnina
started to hold serve stronger. The Russian's finest moments were off her
baseline for nifty volleys, and slices at net. A sudden downpour caused a
disruption of play at 3-2 in the second set. The players returned 85 minutes
later, and Justine continued where she left off in the opening set. Vesnina
held her strongest service game to equal the scoreline at 3-3, but the
refined racquet technique, and fluent Henin footwork on grass intimidated
Vesnina as she unravelled with errors. Justine served for the set, and faced
no resistance for match point.

Final Score 6-1 6-3 in 52 minutes
