We are witnessing legends [Williams Sisters] right now.


Congratulations, Venus!

 

Great! We love the Williams sisters.

(Check the girl in the background what do you make of that facial expression????)

 

Jealousy.

 

"Look at that fucking black bitch, it should be me up there. I wish she'd die already."

Billie Jean King is the reason women in tennis are getting PAID.

I'm glad to see her get so much love..she deserves it.

 

Good for her. Both she and Serena are amazing athletes.

 

Yay!

 

I've been told that they're my cousins on my step-granfather's side of the family...but who knows?

 

The Williams Sisters are the greatest tennis players of all time. It's pleasing that Althea Gibson lived to see those sisters play and win the major prizes in tennis.
