Yes indeed. No matter who wins, Tony, it will be a Williams woman!

I'll be watching on Saturday. I will, unfortunately, not be able to see the gentlemen's finals this year, I'll be just arriving at my destination.

How cool is that? I don't know if they still live there or not, but they grew up in South Central L.A., which can be a terrible place to live. I have been through there many times. I am a big fan of the Williams women because I know this.

It's cool, but they tend to be rather ... boring, when playing each other because they know the games of each other so very well.

I think the Williams women are amazing, and I am a big fan myself.

I guess I probably agree, since I didn't automatically think "wow, I can't wait to see that!" But, I am very, very happy for them. Everything was against them even playing tennis at all, growing up.

I admire them enormously. Theirs is a story unlike any other in sport.

In a way I'm sorry they're playing each other in the final. The last time it happened it was a bit of an anticlimax.

On the other hand they've earned it. No-one else this year has been in the same league.

They've made all their opponents at Wimbledon this year look very average.

When they are on their game, there are no better tennis players. And apparently they are 'on', this year.
