SHOUT OUT TO SERENA & VENUS WILLIAMS!
Monday, February 2, 2009
Serena and Venus Williams hold the winners trophy after defeating Ai Sugiyama of Japan and Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia in the women’s doubles final match at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne this weekend.
Serena and Venus won their eighth career Grand Slam women’s doubles title and the sisters claimed their third Australian Open doubles trophy when they overpowered their opponents in just 75 minutes.

And just a day after wining the doubles match with her sister, Serena Wiliams won her fourth Australian Open Title after her match against Dinara Safina of Russia. This brings her total Grand Slam tally to 10 in one of the most one-sided deciders ever.

Good job!! I’m glad to see the sisters back on top. It seemed like everytime the public would try to compare the sisters they would fall off. It doesn’t matter who’s 1 or 2 just as long as those two share the top spots.

I am big fans of the Williams sisters b/c they are in the media in a POSITIVE way unlike someothers. They are a POSITIVE influence on young people and hopefully allow them to understand that you can do something constructive with your life and acheive success despite having TWO major STRIKES against you …. black & female!
And I know their success is not through some sort of ‘academics’ but at least they’re not wanderin’ LOST about the earth tryin’ to be one-hit wonders or reality tv stars or some other type of foolywang!!

“And I know their success is not through some sort of ‘academics’ but at least they’re not wanderin’ LOST about the earth tryin’ to be one-hit wonders or reality tv stars or some other type of foolywang”
Actually Venus got a degree in “design or fashion” last year. Their father did not have them on the circuit when they were young like so many other tennis parents did. They are well rounded and enjoy life. Tennnis isn’t everythhing. This mindset is what has allowed them to be champions for so long. In tennis,they aren’t exactly spring chickens. The fact that they’ve had breaks whether due to family tragedy(sister getting killed and parents devorcing)or injury really has prolonged their career.
