After the Williams sisters took on the world, they had to take on each other. After Serena demolished Martina Hingis on Friday and Venus whipped Jennifer Capriati a couple of hours later--all their U.S. Open challengers felled--father Richard Williams said he was grabbing the first jet out of town. He said, "I doubt any person in their right mind would want to see their kids out there fighting like hell in an arena." He said it would make him sick to his stomach...

That girl who used to have the drug problem, Jenny, she's doing great, all healthy and fit again, but she has to dance against Venus and, well, like, no way, right? Then it's just the sisters, and they always look awkward dancing with one another. But it was sweet, too.
