Being Serena Williams

Congratulations to Serena on her straight set victory over Russia's Dinara Safina in the Australian Open. This will make Serena's 10th and she regains the number 1 ranking. (The ranking for the Williams sisters is deceptive, as they are obviously the best even though they do not play enough tennis a year to usually secure the number 1 ranking.)


I actually stayed up and watched the match which began at 3:30 AM! I'm a huge tennis fan, something I acquired as a kid watching my brothers, Haywood and Chris, and looking at Open after Open. We love tennis! My oldest nephew's middle name is Bjorn, after the great Bjorn Borg.

Congratulations to both Venus and Serena for their doubles victory at the Australian Open!
