The Hand Match

from Open Era · host Soda

The French Open may happen at some point this year but it must be said, we’re missing the Parisian clay right now. This week we head back to 2003 and the classic semifinal between Serena Williams and Justine Henin. Serena was on a 33-match winning streak at the slams but it was not meant to be on this day in what was an extraordinary contest. You don’t get a moniker like ‘The Hand Match’ for nothing.A note from Simon and Devang: Black Lives Matter. Inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy must end. We fully support those protesting for change around the world. Below are links to organizations that are fighting against racial injustice in Canada, the United States, and around the world. Educating ourselves is one of many steps we must take together. If you are able, please consider making a donation.
