Venus Vilijams fanatično igra na svom 21. Australijan openu, toliko je željna tenisa da joj ni dve povrede ne mogu ništa.
Amerikanka će 17. juna proslaviti 41. rođendan, a sada je posle pobede nad Kirsten Flipkens došla do drugog kola.
Tu je morala da se suoči sa Sarom Erani, koja je trijumfovala sa 6:1, 6:0. Jeste Italijanka deklasirala Venus, ali je Amerikanka htela da igra do kraja, pa makar ne uzela ni poen.
Ostala je dosledna sportskom duhu i fer pleju, iako su je mučili ozbiljni problemi.
Desno koleno i levi zglob su stvarali agoniju, Venus je bila u suzama na klupi, ali je smogla snage da nastavi.
Emotivno je završila svoj 88. Grend slem, dirljiva je bila scena kada se slomila na kraju prvog seta.

Venus Williams rolled her right ankle pretty bad. Getting medical attention. She was in pain and fighting back tears. I hope she can continue to play. #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/HJfBlMypNh
