Venus is going for her third straight (and sixth career) Wimbledon singles title, while Serena is trying to up her Grand Slam finals record against big sis to 6-2 (and she's got two Wimbledon titles herself). The sisters have met 20 times previously on tour; they've each won 10 of 'em.

But does this sibling rivalry manifest itself away from tennis? Not really, says Venus: "We're not that competitive off court, she just tricks me a lot. But I'm getting hip to that now. We'll be in the store, I'll try something on and she'll say 'that doesn't look good'. As soon as I put it down, she'll put it on".

Said an eye-rolling Wladimir Klitschko: "Tell me about it, sister."

Venus and Serena are currently in a tiebreak in the first set.

UPDATE: Serena wins. That last game was kind of exciting...I guess.

Lucky for London, Richard Williams won't be causing any havoc in the stands, knocking straweberries out of bored spectator's hands. According to ESPN, he'll fly back to the United States on Friday and "doesn't plan to watch a single point of the final on television", because he can't bear to watch. Will Ferrell won't be there either, as far as I know.

When learning that Venus Williams was coming out with an inexpensive sneaker of her own, Marbury lashed out.

"I'm doing sneakers, so she should have been under my line," he says. "But obviously, that didn't happen." The company, clearly surprised by Marbury's comments, decided not to respond.

This makes sense: Marbury is selling sneakers; therefore, under copyright law, all sneakers should be his brand. Duh. This is why all teenagers who do it in their trucks owe Marbury a royalty. Oh, and Bill Clinton.

This may be her fourth Wimbledon title, but never before did she win seeded this low. She was crowned champion as a 23 seed, presumably having won the Big Sky Conference tournament. Actually, no woman won Wimbledon seeded this low. And even though Bartoli was an 18 seed, does anyone really think this was much of an upset?

On the mens side, before I look at who plays in the final, I'm taking a wild guess it's Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. [Looks it up.] Wow. I'm like Kreskin over here.

The promoters technically won their case, although they weren't awarded any damages. But what's most interesting here is that the promoters said a male vs. female tennis match could have made $45 million. That might be high, but I can honestly say that if I could have one dream tennis match for 2007, it would be one of the top female players against a past-his-prime man. Having Venus or Serena take on John McEnroe would be a ratings bonanza, and I'll personally sign on to promote it, as long as Richard Williams agrees.
