A Little Humility Goes A Long Way.

Serena Williams won a rather dour Women’s Wimbledon Final if you ask me, beating her sister, Venus, in straight sets.

That victory was her third slam in the last four, and everyone who knows their lobs from the forehands acknowledge that Serena is the head girl in the ladies game despite what the rankings say!

“Dinara did a great job to get to No. 1. She won Rome and Madrid,” Serena said before rolling her eyes and laughing loudly.

She may have only won Rome etc. but she still won them and it may not mean a great deal Serena’s world but to decry them publicly was a little mean spirited. PErhaps she should take her cue from her sister, who said this:
