Serena and Venus Williams have successfully defended their Australian Open 2009 women’s doubles title by defeating No. 1 seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber in straight sets on Friday.
The Zimbabwean/American duo battled hard throughout the match, but the aggression from the American sisters proved too much as they prevailed 6-4 6-3 to claim their fourth Australian Open championship.
It was a fruit-fusion of colours at Rod Laver Arena for Friday’s final; the Williams sisters were in lemon and lime outfits, while the Black/Huber uniform resembled a lychee.
The crowd witnessed the first three games go to the serving team. A remarkable fourth game of the match saw Serena forced to serve for almost 15 minutes, with skills from all players on show that mirrored the brightness of the outfits.
Huber was returning with perfect cross-court placement, while Venus’ response was to shoot off winners in the hope this would win the marathon game, but Black had other ideas. On break point she sent a deep return at Serena’s feet, surged into the net and released a drop volley that Serena failed to retrieve, giving Black/Huber an early 3-1 lead.
It seemed Serena did not like her serve being broken one bit. She took her on-court aggression to another level and single-handedly broke back in the next game. With Serena’s aggression clearly beginning to dominate the match, Huber tried to avoid her, but Venus realised that Black was not going to be intimidated by Serena and subsequently tried to avoid her.
The cat-and-mouse battle continued throughout the latter stages of the set, but the No.1 seeds failed to gain the break they needed. When Black sent a forehand into the net, she handed the set to the sisters 6-4.
The aggression continued in the second set, but this time Venus came out with guns blazing as the sisters clearly aimed to catch their opponents off-guard and get the early break of serve in the second set.
The break came as Venus completely dominated play, this time with aggressive volleys, and was even seen ‘guarding’ the net for a few more seconds after a point had finished as if to demonstrate that she had everything under control.
“I was really focused and my serve was really working today and I got away with a few second serves,” Venus said.
“They played really well, they played really well as a team. They were coming in to the net and did everything right. They really did play like the number one team.”
Although Black and Huber never conceded, the result was never in question after that, and the Williams sisters won the second set and the match 6-3.
The sisters laughed after the match back at their seats as Venus did not realise they had already won the title.
“I actually didn’t know the score; I thought it was 5-2. I really don’t know how I lost track - I was a little confused – I guess I was just focused,” she said.
“I thought [Serena] was real happy with that break; I thought I had never seen her this happy, but I’ll run with it.”
