THE BLACK VENUS WINS AT THE FORO
43 years from the last coloured tennis player, Athea
Gibson, Rome crowns another coloured athlete. Venus Williams is the winner
of the female International of Italy. An overwhelming victory that this point
launches a serious warning to the top management of the female tennis. Venus
is ready to attack the first positions ranking. To defeat Hingis and Pierce
in this order in the two decisive final matches with a mix of sang-froi and
certainty is surely a remarkable enterprise. But maybe it must be underlined,
in the economy of top rivalries, how the elder of the Williams sister is about
to legitimate her own chasing the very high position of the tennis by winning
on every field. Grown up in the ghetto of Los Angeles among a lot of troubles
Dad Richard, a so ambitious man as well as exhibitionist, Venus, together
with her sister, has treaded since she was a child the tennis field of a hard
quarter. A remarkable appeal has featured her teenage growth, allowing her
a privileged entry in the professionalism world. Her middle-distance runner
levers and a tonic and elastic muscular structure have soon stroke managers.
It remained to refine the tennis strategy, the schemes on field and mainly
to work over her game ductility on the different fields. This purpose the
success at Rome, strictly following that of Hamburgs on hard court, testify
as the tactic change of Venus is almost completed. After having paid the usual
duty to inexperience, losing almost won matches in the past season, Williams
has started to frame and canalise her tennis, sometimes too much aggressive
for more reasoned solutions. Hingis, the current number one, is a player impossible
to be defeated alone, mainly in fields where it's impossible to close the
match with few beats. Till a year a go the Swiss, all phosphor and talent
had succeeded to bridle the American arrogant schemes. Now it is not a case
that the black Venus of the world tennis starts surprising Martina with a
certain intensity. An ever more important signal is the fact that these victories
come from matches that did not end in brief, but at the end of little marathons.
As in the semi-finals at the Foro where Williams has succeeded at the third
set being at 75. So strained matches, taking a very high energy and mind effort,
are won thanks to lucidity and few guessed tactic choices. If Venus, as she
has proved it, is almost annulling the gap of shrewdness and desuetude by
privileging force to control, the female tennis is really very close to have
another queen. The Roland Garros at the gates will show more about.
