Venus, Serena Williams Knocked Out of Olympics Singles Competition

August 15th, 2008

Sisters are knocked out of Olympics singles, Blake advances.

Venus, Serena Williams
Not only won’t Venus and Serena Williams have a one-on-one title rematch in the Olympics, neither will compete for a medal. After saying earlier this week that a tennis singles showdown to follow their Wimbledon face-off would be “fantastic,” Venus and her sister both lost quarter-finals match-ups Thursday in Beijing. Venus, who won Wimbledon, fell to China’s Li Na, while Serena lost to Russia’s Elena Dementieva. The sisters can still capture a gold in doubles competition as they did at the 2000 Games in Sydney. While the siblings were upset, James Blake did some upsetting when he beat Roger Federer in straight sets. Blake moves on, leaving Federer two titles shy of Pete Sampras’ record of 12.

Sharonda,

Losing a tennis match has nothing to do with racism. It all has to do with points.

I think they did it on purpose. I think that it was unfair for them to play against each other and maybe they rebelled against them for that. But at any rate I am glad that two black sisters are still in the game.

The Williams sisters are still doing what they love, getting paid, and living la vida loca..so what if they don’t get 1 more n under their belt. We still love them. However,their loss is not as importnt as the loss of our beloved brother- BERNIE MAC!!!! His love,humor, realness, and humility will never be forgotten…
P.S. Sharonda, I don’t know how old you are, how you’ve been raised, or what your social upbringing is but PLEASE turn the notch down on the RACIAL tones…We deal with enough already, and your views and opinions are unwarranted.. Stop using this forum to hate so much..If you loved yourself and your BLACK people so much you would encourage not discourage!!! Find a website/Forum just for white-people bashing……Cause this aint the one! PEACE
