It’s been a few post since I’ve written about Venus and Serena Williams.. I know, I know, my bad. There’s nothing too newsworthy going on with the ladies, but any excuse to post their pics works for me.
Venus Williams is in Hong Kong playing in something called the JB Group Classic. During an interview session, the questions were about the Australian Open, Serena, and match fixing in tennis. Venus said that she’ll be battling sister Serena for the number one ranking all season, and the two will play doubles a lot more this year. As far as match fixing goes, Venus doesn’t believe the hype.
“No. I don’t think it is a big thing for tennis, to be honest. I think we are OK, I don’t see it as a problem. I don’t think about it per se,”
Serena Williams is tuning up for the Australian Open in Perth, Australia. Serena’s partnering with Mardy Fish in the $1 Million International Tennis Federation mixed-teams event, and she really wants to win the tournament. Not because she’s overly competitive, but because the winners get diamond encrusted tennis balls as a prize. Serena won one before, but depending on which story you go with, Serena gave the ball to her mom or her mom took the ball. Mix in Venus getting this
from the new Wimbledon line of jewelry, and Serena is hellbent on winning another diamond ball.
