VENUS IS BACK: Venus Williams jumps for joy after winning her third Wimbledon title. There had been a long drought in her winning a tournament, particularly a Grand Slam... the last time Venus won Wimbledon was in 2000 and 2001. This year, Venus beat Lindsey Davenport 9-7 in the third set of an All-American women's final. It was the longest ever women's match (by duration) in a Wimbledon final. Way to go Venus! Glad to have you back!
