Venus Williams Takes Wimbledon


Venus Williams won her fifth Wimbledon singles crown after defeating sister Serena, 7-5, 6-4 on July 5, 2008.

This was the seventh time the sisters competed against each other in a Grand Slam final. No doubt the win was especially sweet for Venus because with the exception of the 2001 US Open, Serena had always come out on top, including two previous Wimbledon match ups.

Venus and Serena Williams Facing Perjury Charges

Venus and Serena are in the middle of a
multi-million dollar breach of contract suit.
These guys say they broke a commitment to play
in a 2001 battle of the sexes tournament, claiming
they lost millions when the girls pulled out. Venus
and Serena say they never agreed to do it, and that
their father made that commitment acting on his own.
That's where the perjury charge comes in.
The girls have testified in court that despite tax returns
that show payments to Richard Williams for management
fees, they both have testified that their father
has never been their manager and had no authority
to commit them to a deal. Attorneys for the
sisters and their father claim the payments
were mischaracterized for tax-deduction
purposes and that Richard Williams
was paid merely for coaching services.
Damn, from fighting a lawsuit to catching a case.
That's messed up.
