Venus Wins Fourth Wimbledon Singles Title

She beat Marion Bartoli (France) 6-4, 6-1.

Marion beat #1 Justine Henin in the SemiFinal and #3 Jelena Jankovic in the 4th Round. She played well; didn't seem overwhelmed by the situation ---> playing on Centre Court in the Wimbledon Final. Venus played... well, like Venus. A true Champion.

Richard Williams turned to Marion's father in the stands, said whatever he did; they hugged. Marion's father started to cry & sat down. Me too! It was a very touching moment. Two fathers who were absolutely instrumental in their daughter's tennis development. It was a great moment!

Venus thanked Billie Jean King. She was in the Royal Box along with Martina Navratilova, Virginia Wade and... Bjorn Borg. How I loved him! I even played with his Donnay racquet.

Thank you Venus & Marion for a very enjoyable Wimbledon Final.


Ciao for Now.
