The Williams sisters are playing the finals as I type this. I have not been following the tournament but I do like to know the outcome. I think I havent really been that much of a fan since the Lendl and Sampras days..since I realised the odds of my becoming a professional tennis player were pretty much in the negatives.

I wonder how the Williams family dynamics works on days like this. On the bright side, the parents are able to watch both daughters play without splitting up. Must be difficult to decide which parent goes to support which daughter on which court. On the other hand, how do you cheer for one and not the other? Or do you cheer for both, which we know cant feel right as being behind the winner just means being first loser. What about after the game? How do they go about consoling the one daughter while presumable planning the celebration dinner for the other? How do they deal with the "Its not fair" tantrums?
