This past weekend, Venus Williams won her 5th Wimbledon Ladies Single final (she defeated Serena this time – Serena has won Wimbledon twice) and together, Serena and Venus just won their 3rd Wimbledon Ladies Doubles titles.
Between the 2 of them, the sisters have won an amazing number of Grand Slam titles - 16 singles, 7 Doubles and 2 Mixed Doubles. These are not easy accomplishments – you might win one, but to pull together all of the mind and body skills you’ve got to win power tennis tournaments again and again is awe inspiring – at least to me.
Talking it over with a friend, it seems to both of us that the Williams sisters feats of tennis magic aren’t appreciated as much as they could be? So, I’ve decided to take time out and say:
CONGRATULATIONS Venus & Serena!
Job well done, again. Best to you both representing the United States playing Doubles at the Beijing Olympics 2008. (They won the Gold medal in the 2004 Sydney Olympics)
