Twisted Sisters
Posted By Rebecca Walsh on July 2, 2009, 2:47 PM
For the 4th time, on the 4th of July, (numerology freaks are losing their minds) Venus & Serena Williams will face each other in the Finals at Wimbledon. Wimbledon. Perhaps the most prestigious event in tennis, draped in history and well… snobbery. Both sisters defeated their Russian counterparts today to set up another “I’m not rooting for either one” quote from papa Richard Williams who has been throwing balls at them since they were two (what??)
Tomorrow, the mens semifinals feature Andy Roddick playing Andy Murray setting up an unprecedented 17th “all Andy” semi… and five-time champion Roger Federer facing Germany's Tommy Haas, with the all too obvious Roger Daltrey / Tommy rock opera story line.
See? Tennis sells itself…
