Ekaterina Makarova left her Eastbourne's games at home today and Venus Wiliams took care of her easily. The five-time champ trashed the Eastbourne champ by winning, 6-0, 6-4.
The Russian gave up a little fight in the second set but the Makarova on the court today was not the same one who won the grass title last week. Her serve was not working and Williams had no problem holding her own games.
To Williams' credit, she was serving great. Makarova had a lot of trouble handling the American's serve at time.
Williams did lose serve at 5-3 while serving for the match but won after her second match point at 5-4. Marakova did have game points to go up 5-5 but lost her serve.
