Miscellany

Serena Williams is the winner of the BET Sportswoman of the Year award.

Note to some members of the Wimbledon crowd at Court 2: Imitating the crowd at the French Open is not a positive step. If five-time champion Venus Williams is late for her arrival on court, there's a good reason for it--and you know it.

Jamie Hampton of the USA won the $50k ITF tournament in Boston last week.

Kaia Kanepi is probably the only tour player whose website main page features an illustration of her rather than a photo.

ESPN's "Homecoming with Rick Reilly" will feature Billie Jean King on the July 3 show at 7 p.m. Eastern time. The show will air again on July 9 at 7:30 p.m. The program tells the life stories of famous athletes in front of family members and friends they have known throughout their lives. Tracy Austin and Maria Sharapova will be featured, with Chris Evert making an appearance via satellite.
