Venus Williams of the US holds her trophy after winning the women’s singles final against her sister Serena Williams, on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, Saturday. Venus, the defending champion recovered from a whirlwind start to land her seventh Grand Slam title and 5th Wimbledon singles title. The sisters also won the women’s doubles finals later on that same day!
Serena & Venus on the event:
“My first job is a big sister and I take that very seriously,” Venus said. “It is hard for all of my family, although I like to think they want me to win.”
Serena, who had won five of her previous six Grand Slam finals against her sister, admitted things had not gone as she expected.
“She was a little better today, but it didn’t work out as planned,” she said. “But I’m so happy that at least one of us could win. We were glad to be in the final.” [read more]

#2: it’s you. Serena lost because she couldn’t keep her cool and let every single error she made throw off her game.
I LOVE V AND S, I AM JUST PRAYING THEY DO THE SAME AT THE US OPEN AND SHUT THE HATERS AND DOUBTERS DOWN. LOVE THEM!!!! WE CAN DO ANYTHING WHEN WE BELIEVE IN HIM AND OURSELVES. I AM SO PROUD!!!
Venus V. Serena match was so good. Venus was focused, patient, and had a great return serve.
I am sooo glad they one the doubles match. I love them both.
Serena didn’t look like such a dominating player like she usually does,but Venus is a 5 time Wimbledon Champion. She doesn’t just lay down and die. She comes to win this tournament every year. She is undoubtedly the best grass player of this decade. This surface is more suitable to Venus’ game. She hits harder than Serena and has always been one of,if not,the best movers in the women’s game. For those who said they thought Serena “let” Venus win you all don’t know anything about the game. Those serves that Serena killls other players with won’t do as much damage to Venus because 1)Venus attacks the first serve from inside the baseline(no other player would dare do that)…..2)Venus has always been a better mover than her sister….3)Venus has one of the best serves on tour(especially the slice serve wide)….4)you know you are in trouble when Venus’ second serves stand up(usually her weaker shot)….5)Venus WANTED it more just like Johnny Mac said(he’d never seen that from Venus before BTW when playing her sister….6)Venus is the better athlete and usually the better athlete wins Wimbledon.
Also,I did congratulate Nadal prematurely,but watching that match was unbelievable.
For the record,the sisters head-to-head is now even at 8-8. Serena has been lucky in that most of their meetings were in Grand Slam Finals. Their GS Finals is now 8 for Serena and 7 for Venus. As a tennis fan and a black woman I am so proud.
im so proud of them
