Serena barely broke a sweat after beating Elena Vesnina 6-1, 6-4. Her best feature was her first serve which netted her 92% of her points. Serena won the US Open back in 1999 and 2002 and is hungry for another title. Her biggest threat, usually at the US Open, is her bigger sister Venus Williams who has two titles. Neither of the Williams sisters has won it since 2003. Serena is an eight time Grand Slam winner and she has two Olympic gold medals in women’s doubles. She made it into the quarter finals at the Australian Open, got knocked out in the third round at the French Open and made the final at Wimbledon. She has never played Elena Vesnina.

Elena Vesnina has never yet won a WTA singles title or progressed beyond the semi-final stage at WTA level as of April 2008, Vesnina has advanced as high as World No. 41 in the WTA world rankings, has reached the fourth round of one Grand Slam, the 2006 Australian Open, and the third round of two others, 2007 The Championships, Wimbledon, and the 2008 Australian Open. Vesnina is a baseliner who is also proficient at net and can finish rallies from there after getting her opponent out of position. She emphasizes ball placement and strategy. Vesnina's biggest weakness is her serve, Vesnina often double faults once or twice per game in her matches.
