Both Venus & Serena Williams are in the Wimbledon Final. It's only fitting on the weekend of July 4th that it's an All-American final. Both had tough matches in the semifinals. Even though they were completed in straight sets, the 2nd sets went to tiebreaks. Serena vs. Jie Zheng had a very exciting and long 2nd set. Since the women only play for 2 out of 3 sets, winning in straight sets isn't really as dominating as it sounds. Zheng was pretty close to giving us an upset even though she lost in straight sets.
With both sisters in the final, they actually gave us a double treat because they both entered the doubles semifinal as well. Usually when only one of them is in the race, they drop out of the doubles competition so that they could have full energy for the singles. They just won the their doubles semi and will have the final tomorrow along with their singles final.
The Federer/Safin semi is going on as I write this and Nadal/Schüttler will be later today.
