I like both Venus and Serena. It's usually boring when they play against each other, perhaps understandably so all things considering. But eh, may the best one on the day win. I'll be watching and cheering.
Re Nadal & Federer: We'll see. I'm not fussed about the winner this year.  Come to think of it, I haven't really been that fussed on men's tennis since the era of Agassi et al!

My dear, sorry to burst your bubbles o, me I am behind Federer like a solid oak. All this talk about Nadal this and Nadal that, well all I can say is we'll just wait and see.
Go Federer!

I am so much filled with nothing but admiration for this two sisters. They have come a long way and still making black folks proud. I wish them the best of luck and whoever plays well wins, even though I voted for Serena. I love them both!

I forgot everything I was doing yesterday and stayed glued to my TV in my hotel room watching the semi-final and wishing somehow that Gheung(sp) wins!! So that she could play in the finals instead of the Williams!
On CNN this morning, I saw Venus (or was it Serena) denying that their family does not 'fix' matches (as per deciding which sister would win beforehand). I find it hard to believe that they do sha. We all know that naturally women are jealous of one another, whether friends, sisters or even twins!
And I dont want to believe there is no sibling rivalry between them!! That they wont be trying to outdo one another!! I doubt if anyone would want to concede to the other And if we check the records one has won 4 Wimbledon titles, while the other has 2... I would believe they fix the scores if they have same number of titles!
Blessed and talented family!
And we dont see Americans celebrating these girls bringing glory to them!! If they were two blonde haired and blue-eyed sisters now, the media wont stop singing their praises!! hissssss

Who cares if they fix it? Did they fix the rest of the matches that took each one to the final? ANyone who doesn't like them fixing the final should play well enough to keep one of them off it, period. Yeye people...
