Venus wins 6-1 6-0  :o
The Williams domination at Wimbledon continues - 8 out of last 10 winners and fourth all Williams Wimbledon final.

By the way Venus played there, Serena will be blown away.

Incredible - poor Safina didn't have a chance, although she was very very very poor.

She seems like the brother and does not look to have the temperament for it.

I really don't like the Williams sisters...

I prefer my ladies tennis players to look like... well ladies.

I agree with this but struggle to articulate it. I cannot put a finger on why I dislike the Williiams sisters, especially Serena. There's something about her on-court demeanour that's off-putting.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

If you put your finger on it she'd snap it off. The fact is most tennis players are hot housed from a young age so there is usually a pushy parent lurking in the shadows. It's them I can't stand. Papa Williams (Richard?) seems like a strange one to me.

That seems a bit snobby.. you don;t like them cos they have had a rough upbringing?

Quite like them myself seem like friendly types and Serena would definitely get a rattle

No, not at all.......... It's because they look and act like spoiled brats on court and in most interviews afterwards,
showing little to no respect to their opponents...especially God forbid when they're beaten!

They seem little different to how any other tennis players behave.   Long may they reign supreme as it puts 2 fingers up to the attepmted middle-class, millionnaires-only tennis production line.

This by on means is intented to come across racist. But has there been many other black tennis players both male or female to be successful? I remember your fella Malavi Washington who got to the final in 1996, he was a black fella. Any other?

Arthur Ashe won a few slams.
Yannick Noah
Zina Garrison

Not a whole lot to be honest.

Arthur Ashe, James Blake is reasonably successful, Monfils of France is another.

He was caught up in a racism row recently, Carol 'the devils spawn' Thatcher called him a golliwog  ::)
