Here is a short review of the game from Wimbledon.com http://www.wimbledon.com/news/articl...400507f2c.html

I am sitting here watching the match and listening to the commentators or should I say the Venus haters talk about the match and I have come to the conclusion that Chris just does not like Venus. That Chris just can't find a positive thing to say about Venus. She doesn't feel that the girls have paid thier dues because they didn't play junior tennis like Hingis and other players. SHe even had the nerve to do a little gossiping....She mentioned it had been some talk about the matches between the sisters being staged! Anything, to not give them their props!!

They are just jealous. It is not Venus nor Serena's fault that the commentator was not good enough to be a well known tennis player... whatever.

Yeah - Chris is getting on my nerves too.
She just won't give them their props!
She probably knows either one would have whipped her behind when she was playing pro!

I am not too into Tennis, but I get my watch on from time to time...
Does anyone have an e-mail address or phone number that we can call and complain to 'The Powers that Be' about this mess that was said during the game? I am really upset that people don't have any composure - they are just straight jealous. Just because we are finally beginning to dominate all sports including Golf, and I am not a Tiger Fan, they are hating and it is SAD!

Soror DG - Girl, I am with Soror AKA2D '91 no movie watching for us http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif You gave it all away, but I got nothing but love for ya soror.

Soror AKA2D '91, use the smiles legend on the left hand side of the screen, and make sure in the options section smiles are NOT disabled.

I am with 1blubaby on this. I just finished watching the match and I must say Chris must have had a gallon of Hater-ade before the match! I thought it was just me, Im glad that someone else caught that. It is obvious that these talented ladies did not need Junior tennis. They bypassed that step and moved on to bigger and better things. Did anyone notice how they went on and on about their father/coach not being there? Now, that struck me as odd also, but really, was it necessary to run that point into the ground the way they did?

Sorry, Diarra, but the Hater-ade commentator is/was a well-known tennis player. Chris Everett WAS a pro player, back in the 70's and early 80's.

The male commentator said she was going to give an analysis of the two siblings after the game, but Chris did say that whoever won this game would win Wimbleon. I am sure she had to bite her tongue for 20 minutes before she said that. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I am so happy, I was able to enclose a smile in my post! I am happier than a.... thanks, Soror!

Do you mean Chris Evert Loyd?

I sure do.

I did not know that SHE was the one bashing the Williams sisters. I am soooo disappointed in her. Of all tennis player I did not think that she would be so critical. Did she forget already how it was to be on the court? or is she bitter that now there are black sisters up in the ranks ( yes I went there!) what the heck!!!!!

Chris Evert was the commentator on NBC and Martina Navrotolova was the commentator on TNT...she was a hater too, especially after they beat her at doubles the other day!

I just read this, I didn't get to watch it, but Venus beat Serena today. I love them both, but I was kind of pulling for Serena. Oh well, I'm just happy that one of "us folks" will still be representing at Wimbledon.

Of course, the news report I read said that Venus beat Serena "in sloppy sets..." COME ON, get up off it and stop hating!

Thanks, Soror...I know I can't go to a movie with you that you have already seen. LOL

I don 't know how to put the faces within my posts. 'Cause right now, I would be rolling my eyes!

Luv Ya!

Now this takes the cake....that Chris mentioned Mr. Williams always mentioned how the girls had to dodge bullets and the gang members to practice in Compton...as if the Dad was lying. We can tell that thing never been to no "Hood". She mentioned that she came from the ranks of "Public tennis courts". Now a white public tennis court is a heck of a lot different then a African-American public tennis court. Now grant it times are changing, but when Chris was in her youthful years I bet you 40 acres and a mule that she was not working out on "real"
public tennis court. Please excuse me my sister sorors in greekdom for posting so much on your site, but I really like this thread.

Now we have to pray that Venus wins Wimbledon. Not only she deserves it but I can' t wait to see what these two old chicks, are going to say about that!. Alright ladies let's start praying!...
