Serena Williams is truly a rare champion ! |
Disclaimer: This particular blog post is unrelated to neither an African athlete nor their scramble for gold. But please pardon the interruption. Anyone who knows me, probably knows my true love is tennis and today was truly a lovely tennis day and I could not resist to blog about it.
Being at Center Court at Wimbledon watching an Olympic gold medal match was simply, super! And even better, watching my fav tennis player, Serena Williams, fire aces and winners (I call them "frozen ropes" ) against Maria Sharapova felt like a blend of sugar mixed with sugar. Absolute sweetness!! 6-0; 6-1 was the score. Serena Williams won the Gold medal in the women's singles and becomes only the second woman in tennis history to have won all four grand slams and the Olympic gold medal.
I spent the rest of the day at Center Court watching the men's doubles finals followed by the semifinals of the women's doubles match, featuring the Williams sisters again. What a lovely tennis day!!
From Wimbledon, with love......
The Bryan brothers win gold in men's doubles and the french men win silver and bronze in doubles. |

Nice Mera! It truly was a nice match. Love the sisters and how they are breaking barriers for so many women through tennis. How about that celebration dance from Serena...:). You are glowing girl, London must be treating you well.
