WIMBLEDON, England (AP)—The most dominant siblings in professional tennis are back in the Wimbledon final, reviving a rivalry that has been absent from the All England Club since Serena Williams (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/134/;_ylt=AiaWp0N915L_F6wkc_EBUmUgv7YF) beat older sister Venus in 2003.

“It’s definitely been a while,” Serena said. “We’ve been on the same side of the draw a few times. It’s good. This is a new start for us.”
Venus stretched her Wimbledon semifinal record to 7-0 by beating Elena Dementieva (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/89/) 6-1, 7-6 (3) Thursday, and Serena joined her in Saturday’s final by defeating Zheng Jie (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/4171/;_ylt=AozRSeAuRNkzbeo.ZlxAtokgv7YF) 6-2, 7-6 (5).

“She’s tenacious,” Venus said of Serena, an eight-time Grand Slam champion. “She’s got every shot no matter what. You can’t bet against her.”

Venus has won six major titles, and four of them have come at Wimbledon, including last year. Against Serena, though, Venus is 0-2 in the final at the All England Club and 1-5 overall in Grand Slam finals. Between the two, they have won six of the last eight Wimbledon titles.

Neither has dropped a set through six matches this time.
“I look forward to it,” Serena said of the match against her sister, adding she just wants to win. “This is Wimbledon. This is a Grand Slam. This is history. We both are trying to make our mark.”

Ha...the two gorillas at it again. Sheese.

Kid you are so PC! One of these days the internet police are going to be knocking on your door.:nono:

Ha...the two gorillas at it again. Sheese.
The two "gorillas" are simply better than the rest of the world. Kind of Tiger-like. They don't even take tennis that seriously any more. They show up at a Grand Slam event, not having played a tournament in weeks, out of shape, and just moe down the field. What does that tell you about he rest of the field? :pound:

[SF Kid]

Did you see that one of them (forget which one) was serving at 127 MPH? :eek: That's Roscoe Tanner like. They should have a separate division for these "women" -- call it the "World Wide Gorilla Division".

I think Tanner hit his serves with a wooden racket while Serena and Venus use a graphite racket. That's a huge difference. That's like the difference between using a wood bat vs an aluminum bat. The problem is that the other women are just puny. That one Russian gal that everyone loves, I forget here name, is 6'2" and weights just 130 lbs. That's a fricking stick. She needs to get in the weight room and pack on 20 pounds of muscle if she wants to beat the Williams sisters!

[SF Kid]

You're right -- Tanner was still using a wooden racket and racket technology like golf club technology has come a long way but still...wow for a "women" ( :rolleyes: ) 127 mph is scary.

The problem is that the Williams sisters would be better playing linebacker for the Packers than tennis on the women's tour. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Look at them:

[McCovey]

I guess Sports Illustrated likes to put "gorillas" in their annual swimsuit issue! :D

[McCovey]

Another all Williams sisters Wimbledon final. I'm sure the Kid is so happy about this. ;)

I wonder?:rolleyes:

[SF Kid]

They are calling it "Sister Act IV".

[Bear]

S. Williams wins. It's been six years since she won her last Wimbledon final.:)

[SF Kid]

Yep...

[Bear]

Yep...

Kid you will be happy to know they both will be back next year. Venus will be thirty years old then.:eek:

[SF Kid]

At least Americans are dominating.

Who really cares? Sport is sport so it makes very little difference to me.
