The best forehand(Davenport) vs the best backhand(Venus) and awesome match

@adamlarsson3828 6 жыл бұрын

hm. Lindsay certainly hit fewer errors than Venus on the forehand - but Venus hit more forehand winners than Davenport. on the backhand, they are a lot closer in total number of winners, which is typical of their matches. Davenport's backhand was the more reliable of her groundstrokes - she hit relatively few errors and she could do absolutely anything off that wing: huge range of crosscourt angles, heavy down-the-line shots, beautiful topspin lob, magnificent feel on passing shots ... and frequently devastating on return. it's noticeable that Venus a lot more to Lindsay's forehand for long stretches of this match, keeping away from the forehand.

If there was 1 player who had their career severely altered y both Williams Sisters (and not just 1 sister a la Maria Sharapova) it has to be Lindsay. All of her GS F losses are to them (3 Venus, 1 Serena). While she has a respectable overall H2H against Venus (14-13 Lindsay), Venus always beat her when it mattered. Was 4-10 against Serena. She faced Serena 4 years straight at USO from 1999-2002 and lost all but 1. The one time she did win (2000), she got to the Final, just to lose to Venus. She was up in both 2005 GS Finals--up a set against SErena at AO and had match point here. Lost both. Girl just couldn't catch a break when it came to these 2.
