Venus dealt with a lot off the court heading into the tourney but she was able to use the game as a reprieve. Her and Coach Witt really worked on her 2nd serve and forehand to make it more consistent (although the latter left been today, once her confidence was down, she started opening up way too much).

Gabrine - helluva tournament, so impressive. The resilience to bounce back and defeat Kerber after losing the 1st set and today just stepping on the proverbial throat once she had the momentum and confidence, she never let up until the deed was done. Congrats
