Venus should win, Serena is to narcissistic, I really don't like Serena's sportsmanship.

        Women's tennis hasn't been good since the 90's and Serena Williams is a horrible person. I will go with Venus...

        I was wowed by Venus -- who is arguably the sport's most powerful female player of all time -- before I'd even heard of Serena. I'm loyal!!

        Neither actually. Why didn't you have that choice. some people don't care about them. Maybe you should note that.

          While I fully support both sisters whenever they play, I'm pulling for Venus in the head-to-head match.

          Serena always takes credit when she wins and places blame on everyone and everything else when she loses. Go Venus!

          Really, neither. But the poll did not give that option. Venus is just slightly less of a disgrace than Serena. Both have no class.

          I feel like Venus should win on grass - the last two times I felt she gave it to her sister.

            I'll be happy with either winning, but if Venus wins, it will be the first 3 in a row since Steffi Graf

            I think she is the least objectionable. However, neither displays the sense of sportsmanship you would think they would have acquired by no

              Serena is a man. She looks like she is taking advantage of the tuck rule. Gross

                They're both great players but Venus is the better sport, gracious in victory or defeat. Serena needs to learn some more humility.

                another dimension

                my vote's for Venus. and perhaps strangely, mainly because she comes off better in public than Serena. Serena seems to come off a little too arrogant. I admire winners lwho let their actions speak for them.

                  You don't HAVE to vote.

                  Small numbers voting will mean people don't particularly care.

                  Give it a rest.
