Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, July 06, 2003

Serena won yesterday in an anticlimactic match over her injured sister. It wasn't a great match, but not a bad one either, and it was cool to see Venus fight through the pain.

Today was an amazing moment in sports as Martina Navratilova won her 20th Wimbledon title and 58th Grand Slam. She and her excellent mixed doubles partner Leander Paes. At 46 years old, Granny Martina is the oldest Wimbledon champion. With her 20th win, she tied Billy Jean's record.

Doubles is often more fun to watch than singles, and this match was a treat. I hope it won't be her last.
