Serena Williams Named Woman of the Year
Looks like having a potty mouth won't hurt you too much. Serena Williams is one of 11 outstanding ladies Glamour magazine has chosen for its Women of the Year issue.
Glamour cites Williams's competitive spirit and drive as a testament to her success, even in the face of hardships like the tragic murder of her sister Yetunde and her rise through the rankings after suffering injuries in 2006.
Unranked Mommy Kim Clijsters Wins US Open
Just like Paula Radcliffe illustrated that motherhood and winning marathons are not mutually exclusive, and just like Dara Torres proved you can come back after childbirth and win Olympic medals, tennis pro Kim Clijsters shows that you can come back and be a champion as well.
Clijsters retired from tennis in 2007 and gave birth to daughter Jada Ellie at the end of February 2008 after a tennis career winning the US Open in 2005, and making it to the finals in the Australian Open and the French Open. By no means a shabby career.
Wimbledon Finals
Always exciting, the Wimbledon championship matches seemed liked history repeating itself, but with the opposite outcomes. The Williams sisters battled it in the finals again this year, but with Serena coming out on top beating her older sister. This was Serena's third time winning Wimbledon, and by beating her sister she stopped Venus from winning the title for three years in a row.
Get Ready For Wimbledon
Last year the women's Wimbledon finals brought the Williams sisters to center court rallying through two sets of sibling rivalry, with Venus coming out the champ. The men's final was super exciting with Federer and Nadal battling for five long sets. In fact it was the longest men's final match in the history of Wimbledon.
Serena and Venus Endorsing Oreos?
It looks like the Williams sisters are endorsing Oreos. Yes. Oreos.
Words That Move You . . .
"What defines a person's character is not how you are when you're on top. It's how you are when you're on the bottom and working your way back." — Serena Williams, in the August 2008 issue of Glamour
After taking home a gold medal in women's doubles at the Olympics, Serena Williams is moving on to the US Open this week.
Goodbye Olympics, Hello US Open!
Whether you're relieved or disappointed that the Olympics are over, you can now channel your sports watching elsewhere. The US Open kicks off today in New York!
I always love watching the Open: It's the only Grand Slam tournament held in the US, which makes it feel more familiar even if I can't sit courtside.
P.L.O.W. — Serena Williams' Interval Run
iTunes recently featured the music that Serena Williams uses to achieve her speed and endurance during runs and while I may not agree with the way Serena handles losing, I am liking her taste in running music. The play list is designed to improve your running speed, build endurance and give you a boost. So enjoy!
Fittingly Mad: Sore Losers
She has been railed on by the sports media. They have called her "classless" and "graceless," "sullen" and "sulking." Yep, I am talking about one of my fave tennis stars, Serena Williams and her sorry press conference after losing her quarterfinal match at the US Open.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Disruptive Tennis Dress
When I think of a tennis competition I think of the quiet crowd and the Wimbledon line judges calling all the ladies "Miss." I do not think Disruptive. That is the name of the spring tennis collection by Serena Williams for Nike.
