I’m still catching up on today’s fantastic ladies’ Wimbledon semi-finals (you know there’s a good match waiting on the DVR when non-tennis fans are leaving “Wow!” emails in your inbox.) Elena Dementieva has always had great ground strokes and a solid return game, but suddenly the gal’s got serve. She was averaging a higher second serve speed than Serena Williams was. Say what?
Check out this fun video for proof that Dementieva has found her serving mojo:
Here’s hoping Elena keeps up her fantastic form into the US Open – it’s great to see her contending at the highest levels.
And then there’s Venus - who is just showing off:
Looking forward to seeing which Williams does more damage on her serve in Saturday’s Wimbledon final! Go V!

amazing tennis today, felt so sorry for elena but at the same time i just knew she was never going to win the match. venus was incredible too.
wow elena can actually serve i was surprised watching that video. after watching i have this feeling she can put her serve to good use at the us open and finally win herself that slam she so deserves
oh and i forgot to say tat i love her little celebratory jump after each serve shes so adorable
Elena was so close crushing Serena Williams out. Her serve is surprisingly good and makes her opponent very uncomfortable, don’t need to mention her amazing service return and ground strokes. She really deserves a Slam. Way to go Elena!
