    Speaking of trophies, I could totally beat them in the Oreo battle. Hell, I could beat those wussy Manning brothers, too.

    I hope Serena takes it. During her matches a few people have criticized her for all her other interests so I really want her to win.


    Also the commentators were OBSESSED that Anday Roddick lost 15 pounds. It was so weird to hear people obsessing over a man's weight.

    @JanieJ: Even then, it was obsession about form - how he could move better, faster - not function.

    (Still didn't keep Roger from taking him in 3 sets, either.)

    I once walked past Serena Williams as I was walking into a noodle restaurant in South Beach. She had an entourage of like thirty people with her, and she was the radiant, beautiful nucleus of it all.


    Also, I covet her arms. And Venus's too. Hell, I covet their entire bodies.

    They really are great role models for the kiddies - always polite and sportspersonlike. Damn right they should get equal pay - screw you Pat Cash!


    AO sidenote: The Verdasco/Nadal match JUST finished - I don't want to ruin the result, but...bloody hell!

    @dancerevolution is back in the game: Seriously. It's kind of hilarious, and kind of disturbing to see all those photogs in a pile like that. Also, their pictures will be barely different from each others... so, exclusive?

    I am leery of anointing athletes as role models, but I feel I must make an exception for the Williams sisters. I think they are amazing, and Venus was the first woman to earn the equal pay at Wimbledon.

    @sarah.of.a.lesser.god (now with more ovumlord!): I agree. They are gracious yet fiercely competitive. And they show you can be strong and a badass athletically, while still feminine and into girlie things. I love that they get their nails done before matches and always have their hair done a different way. Not like that is a positive thing in and of itself, but it shows girls you can don't have to be a tomboy to kick ass.

    @sarah.of.a.lesser.god (now with more ovumlord!): They are the greatest. They have broken down ridiculous barriers and changed the whole landscape of tennis.


    I watched part of this with minisparks, and she noted that Serena's muscles are 'the awesomest things on earth.' She 'wants them because she knows she would be able to do anything' with them.


    I say, 'rock on, minisparks' and thank you, Serena.

    That's the one thing that jacked up about equal pay. You can't tell me that women's tennis popularity is the same as men's, and thus the pay should be reflective of this fact.


    That is, Venus should have been payed MORE.

    @rosasparks: I think that about Serena's muscles pretty much every day, but minisparks said it much better then I ever could.


    Also, I love tennis snap judgements.

    @That-Dude: Agreed, it's madness. I actually just wrote a whole blog post about women's equality in sports and touched on the equal pay issue. WNBA average salary = $50,000. NBA average salary = $5.3 million.
