Venus and Serena

[Peter_Spaeth]

They play tonight. They first played each other in a tournament in 1998. IMO it's remarkable. Venus is in something like her 25th year of tournament tennis.

That is amazing. I don’t follow tennis, just a couple sports, but you seem to have at least a toe in most sports out there, Peter. Where do these two athletes rank in their generation, across the spectrum of sports?

Serena is arguably the greatest female athlete of all time, and her dominance in women's tennis is the equivalent of any male's dominance of his sport, in my opinion. Venus is very good and has remarkable longevity, but she is not in the same league as Serena. She might, though, still be top ten all time in women's tennis.

We've been lucky to see IMO, the best Womens and Mens players ever at the same time, Serena and Roger Federer.

And Nadal and Djokovic as well, IMO.

Those are some seriously good genes (not to mention work ethic, etc. to put it all together).

It would be more incredible if Serena (most likely, in my opinion) wouldn't have taken some sort of HGH.

Venus is the more incredible story in my opinion.

People have accused Venus too.

Little sister won easily tonight, no surprise.
