Serena and Venus Williams continue to battle for the top position in the list of America's favorite female sports stars.

Serena, the sister with what is inarguably the more formidable/famous body, is probably feeling like she’s in an alternate universe. Maybe that’s why she’s already gotten a code violation for swearing. [EUR]
