Hingis-Williams finale
NEW YORK. Sept 6: Seventeenyear-old Venus Williams never showed the slightest sign of cracking under the unbearable pressure of her first
Grand Slam semifinal on Friday and has no intention of wilting in the glare of the championship match spotlight at the US Open.
Tve never been that type of person who is like scared, fearful." Williams said after a tense
7-6, 4-6, 7-6 victory over 11th-seed Irina Spirlea that put her into Sunday's final against 16-year-old Swiss sensation Martina Hingis, who won the other semifinal against American Lindsay Davenport 6-2. 6-4, reports Reuter.
This is the chance of a lifetime, a tournament of a lifetime. But I’m not going to go out there and be afraid because fear holds you back. I won’t let that happen." she declared.
Showing poise that many seasoned veterans would envoy despite having Just 19 professional tournaments under her belt and scant Grand Slam experience. Williams survived two match points in the third set tie-break before winning it 9-7.
"It was really a tough match," Williams said of the ill-tempered struggle with Spirlea with whom there was clearly no love lost.
"She had two match points. Somehow she Just didn't win them. Somehow I didn't let her win them. I just came through." said Williams, the first woman to reach the final In her US Open debut since Pam Shriver in 1978 and the first unseeded finalist in the Open era.
The contentiousness of the clash was captured by the combatants crashing into each other while heading to their seats on a changeover as neither would give way to the other. The pair barely acknowledged each other at the end of the match.
Good sport that she is, Davenport flashes a big smile even after being swept out of the Open and gushes enthusiastically about what a great player Hingis is.
Hingis, no slouch herself when it comes to smiling, tends to agree with Davenport's assessment.
The atmosphere was lighter than one might expect for such an austere occasion with the women exchanging laughs during the match.
Predictably, the top-seeded world number one Hingis won. coming back from a break down in each set for her victory.
Since Davenport brought a 3-3 career record against Hingis into the match, and is one of only two women to beat her this year, she is as good an authority as anyone in assessing the ability of the Swiss teenager.
Her condensed analysis comes to this: "She can kill you."
Hingis has compiled a match record of 62-2 this year, winning nine tournaments. Including Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
"Looking at her total record this year. She's gotten to every final but one." Davenport said, modestly omitting that it was she w^o defeated Hingis in the
hqw dominant of a player she's been this year, how tough tb beat she is.
. ”1 think she is going to con-
tinue to be very dominant. I think it’s going to be real Interesting next year to see if she can defend all these title. As long as she enjoys it like she is. she's going to keep winning. She loves to play, she loves to learn new shots, she loves to compete.
I don’t see her losing that."
According to Davenport. Hingis has a loaded arsenal, adept in all facets of the game, and points out that she is deceptively quick, on a par with noted speedsters Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario and Amanda Coetzer.
"The weakest part of her game was maybe concentration, ut she's definitely gotten over that." Davenport said. "She’s pretty focused now all the time. She’s just very solid. There's nothing wrong with her game."
Hingis with the record to support her. isn't shy about extolling her own virtues.
"Nobody was beaten me at this tournament, but I can't say I'm unbeatable." she said. "I lost three weeks ago. When I'm really into the game and 1 feel in great shape as I did today, even If I lose the first set or something is not going the way 1 want to have it ... I can still get better."
Hingis feels she is fully recovered from the horse fall that resulted in arthroscopic knee surgery this spring, saying. "I was very good before I fell off the horse. I'm kind of lust getting again into how far I was before that fall."
