SERENA AND VENUS WILLIAMS AMONG THE BEST FEMALE DOUBLES TEAMS EVER?
Though they have once again thiumphed at Wimblwedon, it wouldn’t be fair as this point to compare them historically to teams like Elizabeth Ryan/Suzanne Lenglen, Billie Jean King/Rosemary Casals, and Martina Navratilova/Pam Shriver. However. But if I could piece ten women’s doubles teams together as among the greatest I would strongly say that the Williams sisters would be somewhere on that list, perhaps behind King/Casals.
Doubles tennis is, in my opinion, one of most exciting forms of tennis there is, with the comparison to it be a pinball machine. The ball goes from one person to another. It’s like a fast break in basketball, with three players passing the ball to one another simutaneously. The excitement it brings is far above none other.
And the Williams sisters have perfected the rigurous demands of this game, as few teams (and far fewer sibling duos) have done. It would be a worthwhile ticket to watch them play in the U.S. Open this September.
