Update: Venus Wins Wimbledon

Well, this just in, straight from my TV peeps....

Venus Williams wins the 2008 Wimbledon Tennis title!!!!

Not for nothing, but having watched this from the beginning to end of the match, I can tell ya that although Serena exhibited lots of strength and endurance, overall, VENUS SPANKED LITTLE SISTA'S BUTT on the court.

And thing is, I'm not used to seeing Serena break down emotionally, and for the most part she kept her composure. But towards the end of the last set, when Serena made what I guess she felt was a careless mistake, she turns around, grabs her head and it looks like she almost started boo-hoo crying! Which is understandable, but still, I'm not used to her letting people see her "sweat".....

[PAUSE]

I just stopped to listen to the interview/acceptance speech of both sisters on the court....And while Venus imbued lots of smiles and humor, Serena just did not look happy. I mean, of course, she lost, but still. While big sis was speaking and cracking jokes they wold cut to Serena and homegirl just did not seem amused. Kinda like "Yeah, whatever. This trophy they gave me is wack because it ain't the #1 and I just want this to be over and to be off this hot azz court."

Well, next up: THE WILLIAMS SISTERS ARE IN THE LADIES DOUBLES FINALS!!! Look out for that on the telly. Cheerio, chaps!

VENUS AND SERENA PLAY WIMBLEDON TODAY!

For the THIRD time, Venus and Serena Williams will face each other in the Wimbledon Tennis finals today. Tune in to NBC at 9am.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I think it's FANTASTIC that these to sisters (and yes, I mean SISTAHS too!) have excelled so much in their careers. It's a win-win situation for Black folk cause you know that now matter what A BLACK WOMAN'S GONNA WIN!

On the other hand, who do you root for? The two Wimbeldon titles that Serena has already were won against her sister. Hmmm......I ain't trying to start nothin', but there has been speculation as to whether Venus just kinda "let" her sister win in order to big her up. For Venus's part, she's responded by saying she was highly offended at even the implication because it implies she's not professional.

However, let's say she did throw it for her little sis? So what!? If anything, the fact that no matter what, despite all the haters, they have each other's back - that's good enough for me.

Tell me what ya'll think!
