The Williams sisters had to pack their tennis bags a little earlier than usual at Wimbledon this year. Both sisters were defeated in the fourth round marking the first year both sisters have participated in Wimbledon and have been beaten before the quarters. It’s also only the third time since 2000 that a Williams sister won’t be holding the golden veggie platter at tournaments end.

Another day another crazy Venus Williams outfit at the Australian Open. We’ll call this one the Tic-Tac-Toe dress?
For their part, Williams and Wozniacki have embraced the attention. After her win over Maria Sharapova, Wozniacki was asked about what she looks for in a tennis outfit. From AP:
“For me it’s important to feel good on court and of course to look good,” she said. “Then I can focus on my tennis at 100 percent. (The attention) is nice. I think I’ll get a lot of male fans now.”
Earlier, Wozniacki had said that one of the players she has always looked up to is Anna Kournikova.
“Well, to be honest, Kournikova was always for me the girl that I thought was just … I wanted to be like her, definitely,” said Wozniacki. “I thought she was very pretty; she was handling everything really nicely. You saw her everywhere in the commercials. I think I would more go for Kournikova.”
Oracene Price mother of Venus and Serena Williams had some interesting comments to share about her daughters and her feelings about being back in Australia. Have a watch, it’s pretty LOL. Especially when she discusses why she wears sunglasses at matches.
