You ask

..... You keep talking about Americans... and you never talk about the Williams sisters??is it a Racial thing?... I imagine that you ask...

Certainly not, and yes the Williams sisters can play. The problem is this.... I had to sit through 5 years of Dominance in the sport that had me not watching Tennis the entire time... Sure I saw the sisters come to dominance... Problem was... I just wasn't interested in watching them play each other in every slam.

I only started watching tennis again, when they started losing. As Serina would blame it on injury or whatever, and show almost no class, disrespecting the game.

For some reason I figured I needed to defend myself... Yes they are Americans, and have a great chance to win.... But I'm more excited for Bethany Mattek, who has made it to the second week for the first time in her career.

So now it's mostly about other stories.

Will Safina continue her momentum from the french....
Will Safin keep stepping it up, to keep up with little sis.
Will Murray keep English hope alive
will Jancovich ever be anything but a brides maid.
Could Venus show up her sister in a Final?
Will Kudnesova take it all the way, with all that hunger in her Gut... and I'm not talking about Cheeseburgers.

Speaking of which... I saw some talk in the British press talking about all the "Heffalumps" in the Woman's draw..... I thought that was worth a little chuckle...
