I'm sure that many of us wouldn't want a camera there every minute of our lives because as you said, we all have emotional blowups from time to time. I think it would be truly messed up if her amazing accomplishments were overshadowed by moments of human emotion. I couldn't agree more :)<br /><br />Chubskulit,<br />Absolutely! She rocks! Thanks for following me and I will be checking out your blog too :)<br /><br />Marms,<br />I'm doing great. How are you? :) It certainly was great. Makes me wanna go play tennis ;-)<br /><br />The World As I See It,<br />Me too. I'm very proud of them. I love how they keep their heads up. And I'm so glad you enjoy my blog. This means so much to me. I'll visit you too :)<br /><br />Mike F,<br />Absolutely, they have held up well to what I'm sure can be a grueling career. They represent strength and tenacity to me and as you said, they rock! :) Peace my friend.<br /><br />RE Ausetkmt,<br />Yes I do :) Seeing Venus play live and in person just put me in awe of her athleticism. They are both so proud and strong and yes, great role models for young women to see what hard work and commitment can do in their own lives. I fully applaud that. And yeah, I love their boldness with fashion :) They just do their thing! That's confidence! So glad you enjoyed my post dear :)<br /><br />Mike G,<br />I second that Mike :) Absolutely. My mom used to say something similar to your dad. So, so true! And Mike, I love your before and after. You are inspiring me.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246435607019061325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-80055400543187773812010-01-31T23:10:31.769+00:002010-01-31T23:10:31.769+00:00They are both Great ladies,my Hats off to them.

They have managed to have continued success in a sport that burns out athletes at a very young age. They rock, and only add to their already amazing legacy.

They ...I am both happy for them, and proud of them. They carry themselves with a tremendous amount of grace and confidence. Yes, we all know that Serena had a little blemish last year, but when you train and compete as aggressively as they have to, then emotions will sometimes slip. I wish them the best of God's blessings.<br /><br />By the way, I really enjoy your blog.Terry Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838787723238259496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-14432781541787182442010-01-31T06:45:49.811+00:002010-01-31T06:45:49.811+00:00Hi Dori, how are you?

Who hasn't asserted frustration at some point in their professional life that has been less than ideal? I hope that one incident doesn't tarnish her image forever. Get over it because her accomplishments far outweigh the "bad" stuff.Patrice-The Soap Seductionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543054431096531348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-34774367251635715082010-01-30T15:41:15.545+00:002010-01-30T15:41:15.545+00:00Judy,

It's true, the earlier players got their share of criticism too and no one's perfect, but I just feel in this age that we live in now, the scrutiny is often overdone and every misstep is magnified to the nth degree.<br /><br />It seems to me nowadays it's all about slamming people instead of celebrating their accomplishments. I just think it's so unfortunate. This morning right after Serena won, this commentator was picking holes in her accomplishment and both me and Brit Boy couldn't believe it. He couldn't just say well done. I understand that they get paid for analysis, but you could tell he had an ax to grind. I was so pleased though when the other guy called him on the nonsense that he said. And I've read some really horrible things that people have already said online this morning about Serena winning and it just infuriates me that some people can be so disgusting. Still, I love how the Williams sisters just go about their business and win and forget about all of that insanity. That's the way to do it :)I didn't mean to go on that long. Pardon me :) <br /><br />I love hearing your views on this. I always am intrigued to know what you all think on things like this. It's one of the great things about blogging :)<br /><br />Yes, we did get to go to Wimbledon. It was really great. We got to see both of the champions that year...Venus Williams and Rafael Nadal :)Thanks as always for visiting and commenting.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246435607019061325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-24319633608238329052010-01-30T14:23:00.055+00:002010-01-30T14:23:00.055+00:00They are definitely good athletes. I remember how ...They are definitely good athletes. I remember how good an athlete John McEnroe was, but got a lot of criticism for his behavior. He was still a great athlete. Even Billy Jean King and Author Ashe, both great tennis players, didn't go unscathed. You got to watch them at Wimbledon, Center Court?JudyH329https://www.blogger.com/profile/04169383110345540966noreply@blogger.com
