How cool was it to see them meet up again? What a great example for young black, tennis players, or young black kids, period! The Williamses let them know, "we" can do anything "we" set our minds to ;-)

There are loads of black tennis fans, many of whom were fans long before Serena and Venus came along, but, I think that most just talk about the sport among themselves as they saw the racist vitriol on almost all tennis blogs about the sisters and left and sadly the racism is still there on most of them. And in my tennis league there are many blacks of all levels including many 5.0 players!

Besides the W's I love, Mauresmo, Ivanovic, Roger, Roddick, del Porto, but can't stand Nadal, that rear picking is too gross for me to even watch him play a match along with the fact that his game is just ugly.

Venus and Serena will be playing in the doubles final, too. They defeated the number one seeded women's double team yesterday. They are also the defending women's doubles champions as well.

Yes, I know that have been consistent champs…I may have mispoke. I was referrring to how they did not have they on CentreCourt playing. Instead they had those blonde'beauties' and shunted them to the lower profile courts.

Hello, Set. I'm Game and Match. I LOVE TENNIS, TOO.

(Finally. A JJP thread I don't feel too intimidated to pipe up in.)

Anna hasn't been the face of tennis in a long time. And most tennis fans will never think of her as legit. She was great as a junior but as a pro her success can from doubles play. She is more well known for her boyfriends and her bar fights.

Maria Shaarpova was the last "white" face of tennis but at least she was a 3 time grand slam winner including a win over Serena in the Wimbledon finals.

Even if they were given modeling contracts, if you ask any tennis fan, especially American tennis fan who the top players are, Serena and Venus always top the list.

Maria is the top paid female athlete if you include endorsements followed by Serena and then Venus.

Kournakova is not even in the top 10.

I think so too. But I just hate it when Serena acts like a whiny little sister. Venus, being more mature in the game and seemingly in life, then takes time away from her victory to attend to little sis. Bugs me. On the other hand, Serena gets to feel how she feels and it's nice to see how Venus cares for her. Still, did I say it bugs me?

Serena better get her pout ready because Venus is at the top of her game. She crushed the #1 seed (though there is controversy as to whether she should have been seeded #1 since she does not have a good record on grass courts). Venus plays a a more mature game and I think big sis is gonna take it.
