Williams Sisters to Meet in Wimbledon Final

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- Serena Williams has set up a third Wimbledon final against her older sister Venus by beating Zheng Jie 6-2, 7-6 (5).
The two-time major champion had little trouble in the first set Thursday against her 133rd-ranked Chinese opponent, who became the first player from her country to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament.

11 million Chinese watched that game between Serena and Zheng. She breezed through the first set and so did Venus but both had to take the game up a notch in the next set. Im glad both Williams sisters are in the final they are both amazing to watch and I think Serena will take the win she has played better this yr but who knows it will be good watching in the final.

I can't really explain why, but there has always been something I liked about the Williams sisters.

the final was a great match. They both had a total of 24 error combined.

The match had everything, big serving, net play and big hitting from both.

They also won the doubles final 6-2;6-2.

Yeah the final was great there was so much speculation if they would take it easy on each other well I think the final gave a clear answer it was a great match the best of the tournament. It was also a great comeback for Venus in the first set.

The Doubles was great watching again and I was glad for Serena as she was so disappointed from the final.
