The Williams sisters
« on: July 04, 2008, 22:51:20 PM »
The Blonde babes have all fallen grunting and squeeking by the wayside , leaving the amazonians that are Venus and Serena Williams to take up opposite sides of the net tomorrow. Whilst it seemed like Elena Dementiava had spat her dummy out after her semi final defeat by Venus, do you think maybe she had a point?

Is it possible that the Williams family have a confab and decide which sister is going to win?

Not sure myself but i cant ever recall a classic being played by the girls in Grand Slam Finals ?

I may be wrong but i have a slight feeling that Serena will win this one as Venus won the last one and has won more Wimbledon titles overall. I'm not sure if that will be completley down to her being better on the day or family intervention.

Venus Williams always reminds me of one of those aliens in the film, erm, Aliens.

Difficult one JB but I don 't think their competitive nature will allow them not to slug it out.

And they don't really need to decide to share the £ 1,125,000 prize money.

PS The prize money is the same as for the Gentleman's Championship. Agree or disagree or should that be a new thread.

PPS Annabell Croft was on Breakfast TV this morning. But that's definitely another topic

Well done to Venus but it wasnt exactly a classic was it?

Serena seemed quite subdued, wonder if she'd had the hard word?

PS, Well done to 14 year old Laura Robson who won the Junior Girls title. One to watch for the future! Nice to see some talent emerging from GT Britain ( notice H I didnt say England! ;))

Unlike the cynics among you I think the sisters are true athletes and would not demean themselves by not playing to their maximum capacity,
they are a credit to their sport and two genuine lovely ladies. 8)

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there Mike ? If not then I have to disagree with you. They have pulled out at the last minute of too many tournaments for me to be convinced . I read today about a semi final they played in ther own back yard in Miami (where they live now) and the crowd finished up booing them off as the match was a farce. They didnt get booed for nothing.
