Suprisingly
enough...people dont like the williams sisters no matter if they
are American or not. i dont think many people want them to dominate
the game for obvious reasons...i think that it those girls were
not african americans, it would be a different story. thats my honest
opinion. I agree to some extent with your statement. The Williams
sisters have a couple of other factors working against them, though:
1) Richard Williams - What really needs to be said here? Richard,
sit down and shut up. 2) Tennis fans almost always root for the
underdog, and lets face it, anyone the Williams play right now is
the underdog. I really like the Williams sisters, and think they
are good for the game (especially the WTA). But I do hope they get
some competition from somewhere soon. Otherwise, the next few years
may get a little repititous. Tony
