2010 U.S. Open Quarterfinals Result: Venus Williams Flips On The Afterburners

It took No. 3 Venus Williams just under two hours to defeat No. 6 Francesca Schiavone, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the 2010 U.S. Open. The defending French Open champ played Williams viciously close in the first set, but was overpowered as the match wore on. Williams moved easily in her sparkly pink fireworks dress, displaying none of the apparent discomfort that occasioned so much on-air comment during her third-round match. (Maybe it’s broken in now? And really, who cares, when dude athletes adjust their junk on television every three minutes and no one blinks?)

Williams will face the winner of the Stosur-Clijsters match in the semifinals.
