An all Williams ending..again?


The Williams sisters are on a collision course for the ladies final at Wimbledon. Venus Williams ended Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn's dream run with a 6-4 6-3 win, the seventh seed is chasing a fifth title at the All England Club. Her sister Serena was impressive with an easy 6-4 6-0 victory over Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.

Whilst the media appear to be calling it a dead certainty, there will be many in the packed centre court stands that would love to see either the Russian 5th seed Elena Dementieva go through to her first final, or the remarkable Zheng Jie continue her giant-killing run, and as much as I cant see that happening, one just needs to think back to the Greek fairytale at Euro 2004 to know that sport can produce dreams that go all the way to the end.
