Why is Venus Williams no longer doing so well? Is she growing too old for aggresive tennis or something?

WTA Amelia Island:

Second and third seeds Jelena Jankovic and Daniela Hantuchova have all been sent packing from the Amelia Island tennis championship.

Defending champion Nadia Petrova beat fellow Russian and fifth seed Dinara Safina 6-4 7-5.  Petrova will next face Sybille Bammer in the one of Saturday's semi-finals, after the Austrian felled Slovak Hantuchova 2-6 6-2 6-2.

Golovin will meet Ivanovic in the other semi-finals.

Golovin beat Ivanovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 to advance to the finals where she will meet Petrova, who wasted no time in beating Bammer 7-6(4), 6-1.

   

France's Tatiana Golovin captured her first WTA Tour title by whipping top-seeded Nadia Petrova 6-2 6-1 in the Amelia Island Championship.

Golovin had risen to 20 in the WTA Tour rankings, but the 19-year-old was winless in three previous Tour singles finals.

The Frenchwoman said: "I felt I was ready to win my first title today. Today I knew I could beat Petrova. I knew I had the weapons to do it."

Top seed Nicole Vaidisova was dumped out of the Family Circle Cup on Tuesday in a second-round loss to Michaella Krajicek. The 17-year-old Czech took the first set before losing 4-6 6-4 6-3 to her Dutch opponent, ranked 54 in the world.

The tournament, already hit by a series of injury withdrawals, lost another big name after third seed Serena Williams retired from her match with Taiwan's Chan Yung-jan with a right groin strain.

The Australian Open champion was trailing 5-3 in the first set when she decided she could not continue.

Meanwhile, it took Venus Williams less than 50 minutes to demolish Vasilisa Bardina 6-2 6-1 and reach the last 16 of the Family Circle Cup.

China's Jie Zheng eliminated Israeli fifth seed Shahar Peer 6-2 6-3 to advance to the WTA Charleston third round.
