In a match that allayed concerns that the sisters would never play tough tennis against each other, Venus won her fifth Wimbledon championship. And a sisterly competition became a rivalry.</I>cowboyangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452987299073540171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639740.post-82826252714921184772008-07-08T13:44:00.000-04:002008-07-08T13:44:00.000-04:00Hey Chris, thanks for dropping by!

What I saw on replay confirmed my impression of what I saw live.<BR/><BR/>I'd also add that the women's final was the best match ever between the Williams sisters, who often have a hard time competing against each other. This time they were both sharp, and took turns taking away the other's best weapons. <BR/><BR/>As someone routinely thumped by my younger brother, I was pulling for Venus. Nice to see age prevail over youth, even if I can never stay close to my younger brother.<BR/><BR/>Great tennis all around this year. We should be talking about both matches for years to come.Sandalstrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303641009581382217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639740.post-74185267524960533822008-07-08T13:04:00.000-04:002008-07-08T13:04:00.000-04:00I watched the end of it.

I loved how Nadal climbed up to the box to hug his parents and then walked across the roof to see the principes.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265036866243982434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639740.post-22364461685039790942008-07-08T13:02:00.001-04:002008-07-08T13:02:00.001-04:00Wimbledon!

I only saw highlights that night - in French, so I didn't understand how great it was until I came across a New York Times yesterday on the train and saw that it was front page and Section A coverage - the greatest match ever, etc.<BR/><BR/>I remember the famous Borg-McEnroe match back in . . . . the 17th century, or whenever that was.<BR/><BR/>Weird, los Españoles have now won Euro2008 and Wimbeldon back-to-back. Must be global warming.cowboyangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452987299073540171noreply@blogger.com
