As I was gearing up for my evening's work, I had the opportunity to finish the wrap-up of the women's quarterfinal at the US OPEN tennis tournament...
#1 Ranked Serena Williams VS. (Big Sister) #23 Ranked Venus Williams!
Venus Williams is my girl! And, she gave her little sister a run for the money... but Serena was just too much for Big Sister! Serena won the match in three sets...
I have a bit of an "underdog" sensibility. And, I have such tremendous respect for what Venus has accomplished in the sport... I was pulling for her, and I hope she has another win or two, before she calls it quits...
But, wow, look at that Serena! With the win tonight, she advances to the semifinal. And, she is on track for a grand slam... winning all four tennis majors in a single year!
Serena's match point... an effective "Ace!" against her older sister... was bittersweet, to be sure...
For Serena, the victory is in sight! For Venus, there is always next year (at least, I hope so!)...
And for me, time to hit the streets... let the games begin.
