She won Rome and Madrid (laughter)," I have to say made me laugh as well. Haha. But I prefer Venus' style much much more. The way Serena put it "I think Dinara did a great job to get to No. 1.

Guess who made a sarcastic comment on the WTA Rankings? Well well well, no other than her Venus's sister. “I think if you hold three Grand Slam titles maybe you should be No.1, but not on the WTA Tour obviously, so... You know, my motivation is maybe just to win another Grand Slam and stay No.2, I guess. I'd rather definitely be No.2 and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be No. 1 and not have any. “I think the girl, Dinara, who is No.1, you can clearly see by her physique how hard she works. You can't get anywhere by not doing the best and not working your hardest. So, you know, I'm happy for her. I'm really excited that I won Wimbledon, though, because, like I said, I'd rather win that than not win the Championships.” This is why I prefer Venus over Serena anyday.
