I watched the matches yesterday. TNT aired the repeats last night. They both are wonderful athletes. I was SO happy Venus beat M. Hingis. The commentators kept saying that Hingis is a "thinker". What about Venus? Does she not have any brains? Or is she just this robot out there hitting balls? I was like come on... I even shed a couple of tears when Venus hit that ace in the end...
I like tennis, I played 2 years of it in high school, but when Venus, then Serena came along, I got back on the bandwagon and have been "watching" them every since. It is unfortunate that they have to play each other, but there is a better chance that ONE of them will make it to the final and have a better chance to win, now that the number one player has been defeated. You know the media will want to play this as a sibling rivalry thing, etc. trying to bring negative energy... but the sisters have said that they are going out there to have fun and "perform". These girls are very intelligent, positive and culturally minded. There parents have done a wonderful job with them. They will be going far, even after tennis. GOOD LUCK, GIRLS! I will be in front of the tube watching. It will be HOTTEST thing on!
Sorry for the long post!
