Ok, you're Venus Williams! Your sister has been a dominant force in women's tennis for years. Not only has she dominated the sport, she's beaten you five times straight in championship matches! I'm sorry, make that five straight in Grand Slam championship matches!

You're the older sister, so most feel you're past your prime because your little sister is beating the pants off of you and the rest of the field. But today, you had your time in the sun. Today you took all those years of defeat and turned them into not only a Wimbledon victory but a dominant, no mistaking the victor, utter destruction of your younger sibling and in the process shut up every critic who said your time had past and that Serena was the reigning queen of tennis.

A 130 mph serve followed by crushing backhands and volleys with enough vigor to buckle a top male tennis player, Venus defeated her sister 7-5 and 6-4 in a decisive and short but merciful victory. No bravado, but lots of the "Michael Jordan" fist pumps. Venus wasn't meek during match play but gracious in victory.

With this Wimbledon win, Venus moves to third all time in wins behind Stephi Graff (7) and Martina Navratilova (9).

"Oh, my God, it's five. Wow...That was the first thing that popped into my head," Venus said after she won, even though Serena had much better stats during the match.

Like in baseball where it's possible to pitch a no hitter and still lose, Serena had more aces, less errors, and less double faults than Venus in her loss Saturday!

But in the end, they were sisters again and when asked if that fact was on their minds during the match Serena of course wasn't concerned while Venus kept it at the forefront of her thoughts during the match.

Venus said it was exciting to win a match as close as Saturday's but the feeling was tempered by the knowledge that her sister had lost.

"I'm definitely more in tune with my sister's feelings because one of us has to win and one has to lose. Of course, the celebration isn't as exciting because my sister has just lost," she said.

"You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn't detract from that, but I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling."
