Williams blows champion away

Internet, undated
Serena Williams was at her brilliant and brutal best on Wimbledon's Centre Court yesterday as she sent defending champion Petra Kvitova home at the quarterfinal stage.
Without a Grand Slam title since her fourth Wimbledon two years ago her 13th in total she is in London with a point to prove and sent out a clear warning sign of her intentions with a 6-3 7-5 win.
The American served up 13 aces and hit 27 winners in the process, leaving Kvitova with litde hope or chance of continuing her title defence.
Williams took control of her eagerly-anticipated quarterfinal with defending champion Petra Kvitova, winning the opening set in just 30 minutes.
The four-time winner was at her punishing best as she pressed towards what would be an eighth Wimbledon semifinal, unleashing a barrage of winners 17 in total and keeping her fancied oppo- nent on back foot
with some brutal serving in a 6-3 win.
Although not sup- ISt ported by the surprising number of vacant seats inside Centre
Court, a high- quality tussle was
expected between two players who have
won five Wimbledon singles titles between them, and that proved to be the case from the opening point.
Kvitova took it with a volley after an eight-shot rally and, when she smashed to 0-30, she had an early window of opportunity. Williams served her way out of trouble, though, sending down the first of seven first-set aces on her way to taki ng the game.
Taking confidence from that early escape, she was almost unplayable on serve in the subsequent games, hitting winners that were pinned to the lines when not blasting Kvitova off the court with her first shot.
The break she needed to cement her dominance duly arrived in the sixth game a wide backhand
validating the second of three break points and she duly held serve twice more herself to see the set out.
Such had been Williams' dominance that her first genuine error did not arrive until the 11th game when she wildly sent a forehand volley off-court when 30-15 behind.
