Venus' serve was the fastest women's serve ever recorded at Wimbledon.Venus won her match against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. Venus is the defending Wimbledon champ. Way to go Venus! Venus talks about Wimbledon. efending Wimbledon champion Venus Williams discusses returning to the All England Club.Williams returns to her favourite stomping ground this year determined to add a fifth Wimbledon title to her collection. Twelve months ago, the American broke her own record of being the lowest seed to win the women's title in London. When she captured the title in 2005, she was seeded 14th. Last year she was even more of a long-shot as the 23rd seed. source The scoreboard said 127 mph, the fastest women's serve ever recorded at Wimbledon. The scoreboard also had Williams winning 6-1, 7-5 Saturday over qualifier Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. It was an upset-filled first week at Wimbledon and a rough one for American tennis, but the nonconformist Williams sisters ignored both trends. Four-time champion Venus and two-time champion Serena won three matches each without dropping a set. Both advanced to Monday's round of 16, as did No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal on the men's side. With No. 1-ranked Ana Ivanovic and No. 2 Maria Sharapova eliminated, and with No. 3 Jelena Jankovic limping to victory Saturday, prospects look good for an all-Williams final next weekend. The chances were wonderful from the beginning, from round one, Venus said. That's how we see it. The more we progress, obviously the closer it gets. It would be their first meeting in a Grand Slam final since Serena beat Venus for the 2003 Wimbledon title. Potential pitfalls remain, Jankovic foremost among them. But she hurt her left knee in the first set against 17-year-old Caroline Wozniacki. Jankovic won 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, finishing the match with her leg heavily wrapped. She planned to have an MRI exam before facing Tamarine Tanasugarn on Monday. I don't think it's that bad, Jankovic said. I hope for the best so that I will be able to play my next match. source
