Alright, let’s talk about them tennis sisters, Venus and Serena. You know, the ones always whacking that fuzzy yellow ball. People keep askin’, who won that Wimbledon thing first? It’s like tryin’ to remember which hen laid which egg, ya know? But I got it figured out, so listen up.
First off, Venus, the older one, she started playin’ Wimbledon way back when, like 1997, I think. She was just a young’un then, 17 years old. Lost that first match, bless her heart. But she kept at it, that girl’s got grit, I tell ya. Venus won her first Wimbledon in 2000. Beat that Hingis girl. Folks were real happy for her, clappin’ and cheerin’ and all that.
Now, Serena, the younger one, she wasn’t far behind. She’s a real firecracker, that one. Always smilin’ and powerful as a bull. Serena won her first Wimbledon in 2002. And wouldn’t you know it, she beat her own sister Venus! Imagine that, sisters battlin’ it out on the court. That’s some tough family love, I reckon.
- So, to be clear, Venus won Wimbledon first. Then Serena won, and she won against Venus.
It’s like a whole family thing, that tennis. They played against each other in the finals a bunch of times, 2002, 2003, 2008, and 2009. Serena won most of them, three out of four. That little sister, she’s a tough one to beat.
People always talkin’ about who’s better, Venus or Serena. It’s like arguin’ over whether you want apple pie or peach cobbler, both are good, just depends on your taste. Serena, she won more, got more trophies and all that. Folks say she’s more popular too, always in the news. But Venus, she’s got her own fans, don’t you worry. She’s been playin’ a long time, a real fighter.
They both made a pile of money too, playin’ that tennis. Millions and millions, I hear. Enough to buy a whole farm, maybe two, or ten even. Good for them, I say. They worked hard for it, swattin’ that ball all over the place. It ain’t easy, runnin’ around like that in the hot sun.
But this year, neither one of them is playin’ at Wimbledon. Serena, she’s done with tennis, retired and all. Venus, she just didn’t sign up this time. Maybe she’s tired, maybe she’s got other things to do. Can’t blame ’em, they’ve been playin’ for a long, long time. They’ve given us plenty to watch, that’s for sure.
So there you have it. Venus won first, then Serena. And they both did real good, made a name for themselves. Now, I gotta go feed them chickens. Talkin’ about all this tennis made me hungry, maybe I’ll have some of that leftover peach cobbler.
