serena's thrown down the gauntlet. who's gonna pick it up? anyone? I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: the williams sisters (though not their boorish father) are good for tennis. their dominance is tiger-like, and they're lifting their sport up with them (just look at the tv ratings for the last couple of grand slam finals, women's vs. men's). the women's tour right now has an energy sorely missing from the men's - and who would've ever guessed that the best rivalry in tennis right now, regardless of gender, would be between sisters? let's hope they keep playing for a while.
