Day 13; Sisters take it all !

Venus and Serena Williams, took everything at the women’s side, by also winning the Doubles Crown by defeating Lisa Raymond/Samantha Stosur 6-2 6-2 in less than 1 hour =)

To all the critics about the Williams’ Sisters, and all Belgians or haters, the Williams sisters are great champions, the best of the last generation, and aren’t quiters like Justine Henin. So please stop bullshiting around, because you all are losers, Including the Belgian arrogant newspapers.

CASE CLOSED.
