    It was a great game. Very close and good tennis.

    Their third final together, first time Venus has won.

    A Williams sister has won 6 finals since 2000, quite a record.

    That was their 7th Grand Slam final against one another and the 2nd time Venus has won. If you're referring to Wimbledon finals only, then that was their 3rd, but Venus has still won 2 of those.

    Yep, Wimbledon only. Venus has only won one though, this year. Serena won in 02 and 03, the other two times they played together.

    Yeah I got that wrong. Sorry.

    I don't much care for Serena, but Venus always comes across well in interviews and seems much more likeable than her sister. They both grunt an awful lot on the court though!

    Ya, i'd agree with that. Venus seems nicer.

    I'm glad that Venus won.I don't like watching Serena play - she relies too much on her serve to get her through.
    Venus has much more to her game.

    Venus also seems like a nicer person than Serena, who's a bit full of herself and way too tempermental.

    It's such a pity Justine Henin retired - I was really hoping she'd win Wimbledon this year.
