Serena and Venus are Wimble-Done...

I enjoyed watching the early-morning Wimbledon tennis championship last week. Serena Williams and Venus Williams alternated days on the court as they made their way through the first three rounds of the tournament. The two of them have dominated Wimbledon over the past decade. I was confident that they would meet each other later this week in the Wimbledon finals.

My expectations were shattered today when the Williams' sisters both lost today against lower-ranked players. I suspect that most 'villagers' join me in letting out a sigh of disappointment when we realized that neither sister was in the tournament any longer.

It is likely that I won't be watching Wimbledon any more this week.

Well, I might be tempted to see if this Mardy Fish guy can keep winning. He is the last American standing in the tournament. He's in the quarterfinals ... so he has a chance to make some noise if he can win another match or two.

Question for the Day: Will Serena or Venus ever make it back to #1 in tennis rankings?

Wordless Wednesday: Venus Williams, Last American Woman Standing at Australian Open

Venus and Serena Williams Win Australian Open Doubles Championship

Serena and Venus Williams teamed to win their eighth Grand Slam doubles title in the Australian Open, a day before Serena's bid for a 10th major singles crown. They beat Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia and Japan's Ai Sugiyama 6-3, 6-3 for their third doubles championship in Australia.

Venus Beats Serena at Wimbledon

Venus Williams won Wimbledon singles championship today. She has now won this grand slam tournament five times. I imagine that she is one of the best grass court players of all time.

She is probably one of the best female tennis players of all time. She was formerly ranked as the World No. 1 tennis player. Venus has won the Olympic gold medal in women's tennis and 15 Grand Slam titles, including seven singles (five at Wimbledon), six women's doubles, and two mixed doubles titles. Venus holds the record for the fastest serve ever recorded by a female player (129 mph).

No point in feeling sorry for her younger sister, Serena. Serena won many matches in the past ... and she will win many more in the future. I guess the best way to think about it is as follows -- "May the best Williams win!"

And the one with the biggest smile on his face is their father, Richard Williams. He is a strange guy ... but, no doubt he will go down as one of the greatest sports fathers of all time! He wins everytime either Serena or Venus win.
