Congratulations Serena!



An unseeded Serena Williams wins 8th Slam Title. I was so excited when I read the news at 3 am CST. I know that the critics were hoping that she and Venus both were past their primes. Serena went into the open ranked #81. I believe that when the Williams sisters play with heart, mind, body, and soul…they are their only competition. I started playing tennis at 12, and I immediately feel in love with the sport. Yes, we had trailblazers such as Arthur Ashe, Althea Gibson, and Zena Garrison, however, Serena and Venus have changed the game. It is a faster more powerful game, and it is beginning to have more color and personality. Congratulations Serena, this win is much deserved.

Serena smashed all her critics to smithereens with one of her power aces and won in straight sets. Hope they (critics/doubters/haters)learn never to uderestimate the power of a black woman.
