RVD Jul 7th, 2007, 05:26 PM at Wimbledon. :worship: This is a mighty good day. :worship: http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/match_reports/2007-07-07/200707071183804728484.html Williams collected £700,000 for her one hour and 30 minutes victory, the first year of equal pay for men and women at Wimbledon, but her delight at the end showed that the money meant little to this millionairess whose prospects of another title here had been largely discounted.The added bonus being that she ALWAYS proves the naysayers wrong. :tape: akosijepoy Jul 7th, 2007, 05:38 PM very fitting! woosey Jul 7th, 2007, 05:39 PM it would have been awful if somebody like vaidisova had received it. Dawn Marie Jul 7th, 2007, 05:41 PM It was meant to be. ¤CharlDa¤ Jul 7th, 2007, 05:49 PM Indeed. She worked so hard for it. Congrats Venus, couldn't have been anyone else. Marshmallow Jul 7th, 2007, 05:58 PM Good. And she mentioned it, and the work of Billie Jean King. And people are acknowledging Venus' part in the whole thing too. Just good!!! azinna Jul 7th, 2007, 06:02 PM Yes, that part of her speech was deeply heart warming. ico4498 Jul 7th, 2007, 06:09 PM so fitting, and on the 50th anniversary of Althea Gibson's first Winby title too. VS Fan Jul 7th, 2007, 06:14 PM Maybe she can share a little of it with BJK, since she made this all possible?! RVD Jul 7th, 2007, 06:37 PM Maybe she can share a little of it with BJK, since she made this all possible?!That would be a wonderful gesture. Venus could take her out for a Hot Fugde Sundae. ;) LudwigDvorak Jul 7th, 2007, 06:39 PM 50th anniversary for Gibson, first equal prize check, at Wimbledon, Jesus, this day has been magical. Everything's just been clicking.
