Shahar Peer Can Go As Far As She Pleases
“Yeshua said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men!’” (The Complete Jewish Bible, Matthew 4:19).
There was an exchange of raquets and a figurative golden baton between former U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kusnetsova of Russia and rising tennis star Shahar Peer of Yisrael in the fourth round of the Australian Open. And now 19 year old Shahar Peer is running forward from the baseline to the net into the quarterfinals. Even with a rain delay, she was able to keep her concentration steady. The 16th seed became the first Yisraeli 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.
“I’ve never beaten this kind of top 10 player before,” said Peer, already a semi-finalist on the Gold Coast this year.”I went to play my game today and I am very happy with the way I played. My serve was effective, I was aggressive and the rain delay did not affect me.”
Peer will now face the winner of the fourth-round match between in-form Serbian 11th seed Jelena Jankovic and twice former champion Serena Williams.

“Then he brought him outside and said, “Look up at the sky, and count the stars – if you can count them! Your descendants will be that many! He believed in ADONAI, and he credited it to him as righteousness” (The Complete Jewish Bible, Genesis 15:5-6).
