In the 2008 Wimbledon match the two finalists were of course the two Williams sisters. Venus received her fifth Wimbledon singles crown since she last won in 2001. After Venus's win in the Grand Slam in 2001 the tables turned and it was her kid sister Serena who became the dominant tennis player between he two.
The match was intense and exciting to watch. However, when it was all over and Venus claimed her victory, Serena was not happy with the results. But of course who would be happy with a loss to an older sibling. I would like to congratulate Venus on her win and many accomplishments but more importantly for being a gracious as well as an outstanding big sister. When interviewed, Venus spoke very highly of Serena and was very modest with the win. Oh but lets not forget that Serena was wearing the facial expression "I cannot believe I just lost to her!" Again Venus was very classy with her victory and for that she has proven she is indeed a true champion.

Sincerely Yours,
Lady Luck
