That would be back to back to back. This is her third finals in a row!

Every time I see the hippo out there I question it...

I just had that thought when I saw her pitcture here a minute ago. Not the hippo part, but that her arms had an unnatural level of muscle, so I wondered if she was on steroids.

You know....  She is buff but she is shaped very much like a typical Black woman.  Shapely with muscles...  I rather like her figure!

How can she be a hippo with the athleticism that she displays?  Besides, steroids typically cause breast shrinkage.  Professional Tennis has a more intense drug policy than many other sports.

Please see my commentary regarding your analysis below.

No, but I've often wondered if they really do have the same father.

No kidding. Hopefully the little negative nazi duck farts will just evaporate and blow away.

Venus and Serena are two beautiful women, inside and outside, real deal, awesome athletes.

Oh yea! Two Americans in the final! Woo hoo! Oh wait, who gives a crap, this is women's tennis and it hasn't been good since the 1990's not to mention every single commentator must push as hard as they can for the all William's final. As if Wimbledon didn't do enough favors for the US by putting the two on opposite sides.

Idiot.

Has anyone ever checked if you are really human?

Well, you know, VER, the Haters and the No-Can-Doers have to come out sooner or later. That's just the American way.

I agree, they need to be tested!

Oh, I forgot, the ignorant ones come out, too!

But, just so you know, they are tested for steroids and other banned substances. A couple of female tennis players were disqualified earlier this year because of it.

These girls have been playing since they were small children. They have a daily workout routine that most of us, I dare say, would kill us to even watch it.

They were raised drug and alcohol-free. That's the kind of lifestyle they lead. Focus on that. I don't know many sports figures who can make that claim.

Thank you Kat. Some of us aren't happy unless we're being crass.

Even though I'm the kid sister, I'm rooting for Venus. In a youth vs. experience match, I could make a case for either side. However, in this instance, I'd like to see the more mature, gracious opponent get the win.

kat, you're awesome. And you counter with very intelligent posts that I'm sure Fraustbyte can't comprehend.

What have you ever done in your pathetic life? What a moron.

#7: Surely, you cannot be a stupid as your question. Maybe you believe that because these two incredible female athletes play with such an uncommon strength and intensity, they play like men. They have literally grown up before our eyes since they were 8 or 9 years old. Anybody that has paid attention knows that their potential has always been unlimited. If they focus on their training and desire to dominate, they will join or pass Billie Jean, Martina and Chris as the greatest to play the game.

Although Venus seems to be playing better this fortnight, Serena is not far behind. Her match with Elena today was legendary. Venus' game on grass (5 plates, count'em) may give her the edge but you can't deny Serena a fighter's chance.

I only hope the match compares favorably to the Serena/Elena slugfest.

Keep posting on message boards like this Bree, everyone cares what you think of other people...

I care, Bree! A lot more intelligent than a "What's their gender" question!

kgavit, FTFO. Why the negativity?

I couldn't have said it better!!

I agree I hate both sisters... Or why can I not vote against the horrible American commentators?

oohhh, kgavit... your jealousy is showing.

You show that you don't care by NOT VOTING!!! Oh, I forgot, your main purpose is to malign the two best female tennis players in the world. It's hard to believe there are people who get off on hating. But here's some advice to all of you haters out there, keep posting if you want the rest of us to know how completely stupid and vile you really are.

yes, others to that as well. Have you seen the latest news reports? Martina Navratolova even made a comment about the screams. She also made a great point that it's even more subversive to scream when you serve or return because it keeps your opponent from hearing the raquet hit the ball, which is an important part judging what the ball is going to do. As far as her "distinct lack of sportsmanship," I'd have to respectfully disagree. She as never blamed others for her loss. She does, however, point out discrepancies in calls the judges make (which have been proven) and calls out players for not acknowledging it (when it is so obvious).

i understand what you are saying but the fact is that they are not the only one who screams. Am black but i like sharapova and have u hear her scream, if u have then you know that serena's scream is mediocre compare to that. i dont think serena is not humble, i just think she's a perfectionist and she try to tell what she didn't do wrong. yesterday she said that dementiava played well and she do comment but since people want to hate her, they will hate her nomatter what they do.

What, dude? You're jealous that they have a better choice of men than you do?

That would be, rich-butt ugly, to you, guy.

Wow Guy! I bet you really make your mother proud making comments like that. I know she was thinking the same thing about you when she took one look at you when you were born. She asked herself......what the hell have I done?

LMAO! chocthdr - thank you!!

Fraustbyte, shouldn't you be watching nascar or something? Tennis is waaay over your head, boy.

Cafeful Fraustbyte, I think your hood is showing......

Hmmm, Papi goin to be pi--ed ifin dey both dont win

Seems that you are as stupid as your question, Frausty!! You're not worth the words or powder to blow you to hell. The Williams girls and family have more class in their toe jams that you have in your whole slimy body. Shame on you!!
