She's a crowd fave here. Although Venus Williams was upset by Italian Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 7-6 (10) in the semis today, she was very gracious and the crowd really cheered her on. Williams was bidding for her second title here in Bangkok in the last three years after compatriot and defending champ Vania King was eliminated yesterday.
Yesterday was a great day for tennis, but today... man, it was raining the whole day. But up in the Impact Center where it's covered, it was raining winners for the Italian who is ranked 49th on the WTA.
Hopefully, the Bangkok PTT Open will draw even bigger names next year. This year it was Jelena Jankovic, Williams, King, and Pennetta.
