Serena again

Defending champion and top seed Serena Williams beat her elder sister Venus, the two-time champion and fourth seed, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in 2hr 03min to win the Wimbledon women's singles title on Saturday.
Serena won on her first match point when Venus slammed a forehand long to end a tense encounter whereupon Serena jumped up joyfully and waved to the crowd - while her beaten sibling made ready to take a picture of the champion as she had done 12 months earlier.
But by then Venus was hurting badly with an abdominal strain and hip injury which increasingly hampered her movement.
"I just had to tell myself to look at the ball and nothing else," said Serena. "It was really tough. She's really inspiring for me."
Venus, 23, came out with heavy strapping around her stomach under her stylish dress in
Wimbledon white to combat the abdominal problem which had hampered her semifinal win over Kim Clijsters of Belgium.
"I came out because I just thought the people the fans deserved a final - that's why I was out here," said Venus.
"She was playing the best this whole tournament," she added, insisting Serena deserved the title.
Adding to her anxieties was a left hip strain which necessitated further strapping and a WTA spokeswoman said before the start she was only 75 percent fit.
But the former champion still managed a smile as she won the toss and elected to serve.
Serena went into the match having defeated her elder sibling in four of the five most recent women's Grand Slam finals over 13 months dating back to last year's French Open.
The 21-year-old also beat Venus in last year's Wimbledon final, winning 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 on that
occasion to deny her sister a hattrick of victories.
Now they stand at 2-2 in titles here.
While Venus, the 2000 and 2001 champion, established early dominance by winning the first three meetings of an on-court rivalry which neither player enjoys, Serena has now won their last six meetings.
On every occasion, the sister winning the first set had gone on to triumph - and Venus, taken to three sets in both her quarter-final and semi, looked set fair after racing 3-0 clear with a break to love and notching 11 straight points.
But Serena saved four break points in the fourth game as she held for 1-3 and Venus then saw her first serve desert her with Serena breaking, then holding to love for 3-3 - before Venus held after saving two break points.
A double fault from Serena in the tenth game, a missed overhead and then an unsuccessful drop shot moved Venus, who defied medical advice not to play the French Open a month ago, a set clear in 43min.
However, Serena streaked 5-2 clear in the second despite a first Venus ace having broken in the third

and fifth games.
Serving for the set Serena drove into the net and Venus then held despite a serve which was losing power by the point.
But Serena served out second time round on her second set point.
A pensive-looking Venus then called WTA trainer Karen Davis and took a three-minute medical time out after dropping serve in the opening game of the deciding set, clutching her left side in the process.
By then her first serve ratio had slid below 50 per cent and she dropped serve again with an eighth double fault as Serena again opened up a 5-2 lead.
The gulf was by now unbridgeable and Serena bagged the crown on her first match point.
