 With both in the semifinals at Wimbledon, Serena also looks for some kind of edge in case the two meet for the third time in the final Saturday at the All England Club.

"She's an opponent," Serena said. "You scout your opponents."]]></description><category><![CDATA[News]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Global]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/35992/Serena-Plotting-On-Sister-Venus-for-Wimbledon-Crown?sc=1#social</comments><author>Sportaphile</author><pubDate>7/3/2008 5:56:25 AM</pubDate></item><item id="35350"><title><![CDATA[Venus And Serena Are Dominating At Wimbledon (again!)]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/35350/Venus-And-Serena-Are-Dominating-At-Wimbledon-again</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=35350&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/sportaphile' title='Sportaphile'>Sportaphile</a> Venus Williams, in an otherwise unproductive 2008, looks again like she cannot be stopped at Wimbledon.

One swing from completing her week's work, Venus Williams toed the baseline, dribbled the ball, gave it a toss and delivered yet another thunderclap serve at sun-kissed Wimbledon. The ace bounced off the Court 1 backstop as Williams trotted to the net to bid another foe farewell. The scoreboard said 127 mph, the fastest women's serve ever recorded at Wimbledon. - Tennis news]]></description><category><![CDATA[News]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Global]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/35289/Venus-Williams-Breaks-Wimbledon-Record?sc=1#social</comments><author>Sportaphile</author><pubDate>6/30/2008 4:46:49 PM</pubDate></item><item id="27983"><title><![CDATA[Serena Williams Upset By dinara Safina]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/27983/Serena-Williams-Upset-By-dinara-Safina</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=27983&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/sportaphile' title='Sportaphile'>Sportaphile</a> Serena Williams's 17-match winning streak ended Friday with a 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (5) loss to Dinara Safina in the German Open quarterfinals.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/27983/Serena-Williams-Upset-By-dinara-Safina?sc=1#social</comments><author>Sportaphile</author><pubDate>5/10/2008 8:05:36 PM</pubDate></item><item id="23401"><title><![CDATA[The History of Adidas and Puma]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/23401/The-History-of-Adidas-and-Puma</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=23401&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/ssophus' title='ssophus'>ssophus</a> The family fight that created Adidas and Puma.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Finance & Business]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/23401/The-History-of-Adidas-and-Puma?sc=1#social</comments><author>ssophus</author><pubDate>4/20/2008 11:10:09 PM</pubDate></item><item id="22313"><title><![CDATA[Open Season on Serena Williams and the Black Booty]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/22313/Open-Season-on-Serena-Williams-and-the-Black-Booty</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=22313&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/jaketheman' title='jaketheman'>jaketheman</a> Why is it that when a Black Female Athlete or Celebrity who is well developed naturally is considered some type of freak of nature, but when you have others (white) celebrity s who get implants either breast or butts are praised.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[News]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sexuality]]></category><category><![CDATA[US]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/22313/Open-Season-on-Serena-Williams-and-the-Black-Booty?sc=1#social</comments><author>jaketheman</author><pubDate>4/18/2008 2:43:02 AM</pubDate></item><item id="21645"><title><![CDATA[TGIF: Serena Williams’ Booty Gets A Breather]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/21645/TGIF-Serena-Williams-Booty-Gets-A-Breather</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=21645&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/sportaphile' title='Sportaphile'>Sportaphile</a> Do you really need an explanation??]]></description><category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category><category><![CDATA[Tennis]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/21645/TGIF-Serena-Williams-Booty-Gets-A-Breather?sc=1#social</comments><author>Sportaphile</author><pubDate>4/13/2008 11:19:16 AM</pubDate></item><item id="21099"><title><![CDATA[Venus Williams takes indefinite tennis hiatus for undisclosed reason - Tennis - Yahoo!

The vast plateau of flat-chested-hard-bodied women competitors have lived in the shadow of Mount Serena, whose mighty peaks have dominated the lands. But this weeks Australian Open unearthed a new natural wonder.
Her name is Tamira Paszek.
Although Tamira lost against Jelena Jankovic in the first round, the entire world is now abreast of her growing potential. I&#8217;m not going to pretend I keep up with tennis, but someone PLEASE tell me if these two play against each other. That&#8217;s live blogging material.
