If I were a betting woman, I would have been raking in cash an hour ago, as my two favorite tennis divas finished their semifinals in winning form, heading into a sister-sister matchup on Center Court of Wimbledon in the women’s final on the Fourth of July. As a tennis fan and one who especially cheer for the sons and daughters from our soil. I am truly happy for Venus and Serena who have on many occasions held that flag way up high for American Tennis.
Serena and Venus matchups are my favorites, but I am always very torn, as I have a problem deciding which sister I will cheer for. I normally just go with the flow, cheering for Serena because she is the little sister and rooting for Venus when she has no mercy as a big sister.
But all in all, I will be watching the finals with a lot of pride for these two legends in their own rights. Serena, a two-time Wimbledon champion, was pushed to the limit by the fourth-seeded Dementieva but raised her game when she needed in one of the most compelling women's matches at the All England Club in years.
She saved match point and overcame Elena Dementieva 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6 in an overwhelming fashion, setting up another championship match against sister Venus. The 2-hour, 49-minute epic of a match ended when Dementieva sailed a backhand wide. And in true Serena signature style, she threw her head back, pumped her arms and hopped up and down in celebration.
