Shahar Takes the Court
January 21, 2007 - 9:45 PM by Allison
Our rising tennis star is kicking some serious butt:
Israeli teenager Shahar Peer carved out a bit of history with her 6-4 6-2 humbling of third-seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Sunday.
The 16th seed became the first Israeli woman to reach the quarter-final of a grand slam with a performance of great agility on Vodafone Arena, often cruelly exposing the lethargic movement of her flat-footed Russian opponent.
The 19-year-old broke the Russian’s serve three times in a scrappy opening set and even a five-minute rain interruption while she was serving at 4-2 in the second failed to disrupt her concentration.
