"Venus the Best"

Was there a more charming awards ceremony sight this year than the one in Zurich? Champion Venus Williams went into the stands and hugged her father and her dog, then returned to a band who serenaded her with a personalized version of "Simply the Best" while she danced, holding her flowers.

No, but I can't wait to read her blog. Thanks for letting me know so I can look forward to it.

Hmmm, almost sounds like a post-match ceremony that might star another player.

(hint... she has a "J" in her name)

:D

No kidding!

And I once saw Pennetta dance with a fan on the court, after an exhibition match, so she would have made the most of it, too.
