Jeebus, Mirka sat motionless in the direct sun for 5 hours, at LEAST 8 months preggers. And now she's wearing EVENING WEAR? I'd be lying beached on the couch wearing R-Fed's discarded white and gold P-Diddy tracksuit and calling like a foghorn for nachos at this point.

He probably knew Diddy would still let him in his Hamptons All White Party in it.

Annabelle looks absolutely fine. You would not quibble over her dress if you has seen her living the life of a homeless person on the streets of London for a recent documentary.

Roger looks exhausted. I bet Mirka gave him a whap right across the head afterward for potentially scaring her into early labor.

US Weekly can go ... do something unmentionable. They can snark on Serena's dress right after they win themselves 3 ladies singles titles and 4 ladies doubles titles at Wimbledon.

(Although if she chose to wear another dress, she could see it more easily if she pulled out the tennis dresses she wore for singles and doubles finals and give them to me!! Right?? It's not like Nike and Eleven couldn't make her ten thousand more. Venus can give me hers too.)

Annabel gets a break. It's the Wimbledon ball. I think it's at the rules that you have to look dull (unless you're Roger).

Rrrrrrooggggggggeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!!

I was shrieking and screaming all weekend, first about Serena and then about Roger. Fuck US Weekly, Serena is a goddess; she is an incredibly elegant woman and athlete.

I also loved the little cover up thingie she was wearing when she accepted. It was darling.

They're done with them anyway. They'll wear something else next year. Next tournament. Next practice session.

I think they're obligated to by contract.

Why can't I have them?

US Weekly did NOT say that she should improve her body. I absolutely, flat-out, refuse to believe that anyone on earth could be that blindingly, resolutely ignorant and hateful. Je refuse!

Hold on, what's that? /puts finger to earpiece and turns 1/4 turn from camera/ Us Weekly is precisely that blindingly, resolutely ignorant and hateful? Oh, ok then. /removes finger, turns back/ I stand corrected.

Venus should win because she's a far better grass player than Serena but I never call these finals because Serena will fight for every point as she proved today.

@emilyanne: Yeah, I'd like Venus to win, because the relationship she has with Wimbledon is so special. I was saying to my husband today that Venus is alwys so gracious whereas Serena can get quite stroppy when she's losing, and that is typical for a younger sister. I then said she's a fighter because she always wants attention, doesn't ever like being in her older sister's shadow...at which point my husband said "Are you talking about Serena or YOUR sister?" So yeah, I think I may be projecting a little...

@heykoukla: ha I'm the older sister too and I'm always saying the same sort of thing. We're clearly projecting together. But i do love watching Venus play on grass, she plays with such freedom on that surface and I find it interesting that she never looks quite as comfortable at say the US Open where Serena is clearly more at home.

@CarissaHaetism: Why do you have to hate? These women have worked their entire lives to achieve something that no one else has, and have maintained a great relationship and supported each other through wins and losses. They are role models to women and girls everywhere. And you are tearing them down for no reason. Way to set feminism back by saying that the only way you will accept them in their sport is if you call them men.

I love Serena and Venus, but I do have to say that I wish someone else would come along who could actually present a real challenge for them. At this point I find watching them play each other boring, since their style is almost identical. I'm ready for some other strong female tennis players.

@laureltreedaphne: I don't think it's fair to call their style identical. On grass in particular Venus is effortless and elegant where Serena has to battle more for each point as their semi finals show. I agree that it would be great if there was more competition within the women's side however - Dementieva today ensured a great semifinal, sadly Safina can not cope with Venus at all.

@laureltreedaphne: See, I don't think their styles are identical at all. And Venus is very different (and more dominant) on grass then other surfaces. Plus, it's good tennis (though Serena's match today is one of the best I've ever seen.)
