Williamses Wins Wimbledon!

0 Responses

Serena Williams beats her sister, Venus Williams, at Wimbledon today 7-6 (3), 6-2. This third win at Wimbledon gives her an 11th Grand Slam title and places her one shy of Billie Jean King, and sixth on the all-time women’s list.

Venus won the the last two Wimbledon championships and came into this match with a 20-match winning streak. She also won 17 of those matches in straight sets, including her win in the finals last year against Serena.

The Williams sisters also won the women's doubles title at Wimbledon, beating Australians Sam Stosur and Rennae Stubbs 7-6 (4), 6-4. This is the second year in a row that the American sisters have won the women’s double’s at Wimbledon.

Michael Jackson: An Icon Gone

Oh so rare, a light so bright comes along that spans boarders and cultures; and in the collective, it stands apart while simultaneously pulls us together.

We never really understand true genius, often wrapped in eccentricities, so we resign ourselves to mind-wrenching inquiries of hypotheses and analyses that merely gives rise to more questions and no answers; no resolutions.

Something’s missing
As another star twinkles in the sky.

Want to reminisce or see more MJ? Youtube has dedicated an entire channel to MJ entitled His Music Will Live Forever.
