Walsh Jennings has been serving underhanded due to an injury.
Three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings overcame a shoulder injury, with major credit to silver medalist partner April Ross, to reach Sunday’s final at the World Series of Beach Volleyball.
The Americans beat Germans Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhors 21-19, 21-17 in the semifinals Saturday in Long Beach, Calif.
Walsh Jennings is playing at the biggest annual beach volleyball tournament in the U.S. for her first competition since July 10, when she dislocated her right shoulder during a match for the second time in two months.
