Robert Siegel speaks with Bud Collins, sportswriter for the Boston Globe about the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, where the women's final is set. In the semi-finals, number five seed Venus Williams defeated her sister Serena, seeded 8th. This is the first time in over 100 years of Wimbledon that two sisters faced one another, the second time ever. Having defeated number-one seed Martina Hingis to get to this match, Venus may have been better prepared for the finals match than her sister, who advanced against minimal competition. Number-two seed Lindsay Davenport will play against Venus, having defeated unseeded Jelena Dokic.
