Losing. Apparently, Serena Williams hates it.

Hell, who doesn’t? Losing always is the thing sports athletes hate the most. But what separates Serena from the rest is how she deals with losing. As was the case in last weekend’s 2008 Wimbledon Championships final against sister Venus.

For all ya’ll who missed it, Venus Williams beat sister Serena, 7-5, 6-4 to become champion of the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships. It was a successful title defense for Venus after winning on these very grounds last year.

And as soon as Venus realized she won Wimbledon for the second straight year, Serena Williams was there, shouting in despair, letting all her frustrations out, making you wonder if she was really happy for her sister’s success. After all, they still kept it in the family and that was the only thing that should matter right?

Her mother knows how competitive Serena is and losing to her older sister Venus Williams, is not as sweet as people would’ve guessed. ‘’Serena thinks everything is supposed to go her way, that’s the bottom line,'’ said mom AND coach Oracene Price. ‘’She thinks that’s the way it’s supposed to go in life. But this is life.'’

‘’It’s definitely not any easier,'’ Serena Williams said, referring to coming up short in a Grand Slam final to kin instead of a non-related rival. ‘’I just look at her as another opponent at the end of the day. I don’t think it’s harder, but it’s definitely not easier.'’

To prove how unacceptable was losing in the 2008 Wimbledon final to Serena, she came up with a remark that not only gives credit to her sister Venus, but also gives some credit to herself as well. ‘’Well, it says a lot about her. I mean, she’s won five Wimbledons now. She’s beaten me on grass now, so that definitely says a lot.'’

Yes, Serena has become an egomaniac. Heck, her ego could now be bigger than Kobe’s for crying out loud. Tennis now returns to American soil for the last Grand Slam of the season, the 2008 United States Open. Who will win it?
