Sometimes while sitting at the red lights I don't run, I try to figure out who the biggest names living on the planet are right now. Nelson Mandela (happy birthday baby) would surely clock in at number one. I guess Bin Laden, Putin, Lech Walesa (slidin' fast), Thatcher, Brad Pitt...well you could fill out the top people on your own ...but surely my favourite female notable on this planet is the statuesque, gracious, ball-smashin' vixen Venus Williams. It's been love at first
smash for me and over the years I've egged her on through the TV to beat that shrimpy little Belgian Henin and Blisters and Morelesbo and now that phoney arm pumping Ivanovic who I am praying will get steamrollered here by The Godess. Word is, however, that a very young sister team in Montreal could -and this is an extreme longshot - become our version of the Willliams sisters.
Elizabeth Abanda, 14, and Francoise Abanda, 12 are kickin' up dust on the kiddie tennis circuit, winning left and right in Canada. The knock on Elizabeth is that she's very short and probably won't be getting any taller. The younger one, seen here shopping in Italy, well it's a bit early to tell. The two kids sent a videotape urging Serena to come to Montreal to play alongside Venus,
so we salute their spunkiness.
