    Wimbledon Action On Monday

    Tuesday, June 24, 2008

    As it should have been, nothing particularly exciting happened on the grounds of the Wimbledon stadium. The Black tennis pros that were in action split success.

    American Serena Williams advanced to the second round and Venezuelan Milagros Sequera was defeated.

    Although, Serena did toss on a pretty snappy looking short trench over her tennis dress. Interesting look...I like it.

    “It is definitely not athletic attire, but it is ladylike and I am very ladylike. It goes perfectly with my personality and everything else.”

    “I absolutely love trenchcoats. I mean, I love coats, and I don’t know why because I live in Florida, so it doesn’t really add up.”

    “It is a very lightweight fabric. It is woven so it has a little give in it as well. On the inside it is stitched with gold. It has a little give on both ways. It is very movable, it is very light, it is delectable.”

    "It is definitely kind of retro-inspired; buckles on the wrist, the waistband tie. You can tie it or button it. Now I have a wonderful white coat I can wear on the court and also, you know, in New York for those rainy days,”

    Americans Venus Williams, James Blake and Donald Young, and Frenchwoman Stephanie Foretz will be in action today.

    Milagros Sequera, VEN vs. Elena Vesnina, RUS

    Venus Williams - Withdrew*

    *Venus withdrew from the Bausch & Lomb Championships on Saturday because she will be receiving treatment this week to resolve a medical issue.

    "I have had great experiences at the Bausch & Lomb Championships and regret that I will not be participating this year," Williams said in a statement. "I look forward to being back on tour soon."

    "The sun's shining and everything's green and the birds are chirping - and you're hitting the ball as hard as you can," Williams told the Times-Union during the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. "It's just kind of a warm, fuzzy feeling about the event."

    Venus will still have a chance to see the beauty of Amelia Island this year - if only briefly. She has agreed to come to Amelia Island Plantation one day this week for a news conference to promote the tournament, which she won in 2002. Her victory was a three-set comeback thriller against Justine Henin - a memory she counts among her favorites at Amelia Island.
