    Wow..if she plays like this I don't think anybody can stop her. Her attitude on court seemed different..like she really wants this title. I hope so!

    I almost cried.Venus really deserves another slam and if she can keep it like this, I hope she gets it this year. Doesn't matter if she has to beat Serena for it. Serena can still get the Golden slam next year.

    She's hungry for this title and you can see it. Those flawless strokes, that power, that serve, her movement, just everything. She got to those balls with no problem, maintained consistency and energy throughout the match. To think also that girl is ranked 36, top 50, younger and a hitter too. This is prime Venus. The one that too many can't keep up with. She's hungry for that title, and she's going to get it.

    Venus wants this title you can see it in her groundstrokes her movement and that grunt is different from her normal grunt…. Let's keep it up Vee

    Looks like she worked on serve accuracy. If she can get her serve to 65 percent consistently she's easy still number 2 in world at least.

    If she can keep her unforced errors down, keep her second serve above 70% and just keep attacking the net to keep those rallies short, She will be a force to be reckoned with. Serena has a lot of pressure on her, So I hope Venus pulls through, its been way to long and she deserves another title, 7 seems so incomplete, 8 grand slam titles with 6 at Wimbledon sounds so much better! Lets go Venus. one game, one set, one match at a time!

    Happy for Venus but sorry for Brengle. What a humiliating loss. She seems like a nice person. Unfortunately you'll get no free points from Venus or Serena. You have to earn it.

    I really hope she gets to maintain this level of play and get another Wimbledon title before she finally hangs her racket. Venus is definitely one of the best players in the circuit and it would be a shame to see her losing more matches than winning them. At least if and when she decides to retire, she will go out with her big guns blazing!

    I think Vee can win this! I think she could have won it yesterday, but Kvitova just made it out by a hair. Those two are the best grass court players in the women's game.

    Yes, Venus played well however let's not forget this is a first round match. As she goes deeper into the field other players will match her experience and power. Good luck to her. If she meets Serena and plays this level it will go down in the history books for sure.
