		<description>I just want to know... is Venus still engaged to the ex golfer Hank? I didn't see him in the stands nor did she mention him in her thank you speech as she did last year. 

Was that some of the issues she had to resolve?

Does anyone know if they are still together?</description>

		<description>The Williams sisters are "head and shoulders above the rest of the tour?" That's not a very credible assessment of their place in the rankings right now. Neither has dominated the tour in recent years; granted, neither has any other woman. The Ladies' Tour just doesn't have a dominant player right now. I'd agree that Serena is the most interesting women's player to watch, for a variety of sex-related and game-related reasons, but she is certainly not 'head and shoulders above' the field, and neither is her sister.

I think they could have been, but they got interested in too many things off the court and that took away from what they did on it. About eight years ago, I would have bet that they would have won 25-30 Grand Slam singles titles between them, but after today's match, their combined total will be 15.... which is terrific, but not earth-shattering. considering Graf, Navratilova, and Evert beat that total by themselves. These are two of the top 20 women's players ever, but let's take it easy with putting them on such a pedestal. (Don't forget, another player from this decade, Justine Henin -- whom I loathe, but so what -- gave Serena fits, and won seven GS singles titles of her own, one more than Venus.)

Now if you wanna talk sex appeal.... Serena is No. 1, with Gabriela Sabatini (ret.) No. 2, and Ivanovic No. 3. I also had a thing for Zina Garrison fifteen years ago.... (I'm not big on the curent drop of Russian blonds.)</description>
