By Greg Couch - AOL NewsEight years later and Serena Williams and Justine Henin are still looking for closure. "Question,'' Williams wrote on her Twitter account. "I keep hearing about admittance to someone cheating me & lying about it after at the French open? Did she confess finally?'' Well that "someone'' Williams could not bring herself to say was Henin. And if Williams were truly interested in finding out if Henin had fessed up to what happened at the 2003 French Open, the infamous Hand Incident, then Williams could have just Googled it. Instead, she wrote it in a question with very pointed words to her two ...
Surprise, Surprise: Serena Pulls Out Again
By Greg Couch - AOL NewsWith tickets sold, it's time to go ahead and erase Serena Williams' picture from the poster. She isn't coming. Williams withdrew Monday from the Nike Clash of Champions exhibition March 8 in Eugene, Ore. It was going to be the first time she had played publicly since July. She has been out with a mysterious foot injury that she has given varying explanations for. It's not nice to say "I told you so," so let's just say this: tennis fans, you were warned. The event was supposed to have Williams, Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. And every event like this puts a little ...
Kim Clijsters' Rise to Top Exposes Women's Game
By Greg Couch - AOL NewsAlec Baldwin is hot for her sweaty body. Todd Woodbridge is focusing on her breasts. Serena Williams' mom thinks she has a scary, Medusa eye. Not only that, but Kim Clijsters also has won the past two major tennis championships. And when she officially reached No. 1 in the rankings Monday, she became the first Mommy to get there. Clijsters has already done much more than I thought she could during her comeback, not so much on the court, but off, bringing attention to women's tennis. Her play, and now her ranking, has brought credibility. Did she just solve women's tennis No. 1 problem? She ...

Williams Sisters' Mom Tastes Tweet & Sour of Twitter
By Greg Couch - AOL NewsOracene Price, mother of Venus and Serena Williams, has not tweeted in six days. I wanted to make sure I was the first to report that news. It is clear she's embarrassed and angry by what she had tweeted before the women's final of the Australian Open. If you missed the little storm she created last week on Twitter, she said she was hoping Li Na would beat Kim Clijsters because she thought it "would be cool for a Chinese to win.'' She also wrote, "Let's say I'm not pulling for the other one. I dislike dubious people.'' It's clear she hates Clijsters. People wrote to Price on Twitter, ...
If Williams Sisters Are Left Out of Olympics, Expect Ugly Situation
By Greg Couch - AOL NewsMELBOURNE, Australia -- Serena Williams wins Wimbledon and then the U.S. Open. She is on a roll, dominating tennis again. And then, with the Olympics coming, she says she wishes she could play for the U.S., but is being kept out. The U.S. picks Melanie Oudin instead. I'm imagining a future here, a very possible future. A very uncomfortable and explosive future. When you stand there and see two trains on the same track, barreling toward each other, you sort of brace yourself. Williams, and her sister Venus, are very close to failing to meet requirements to be eligible for the 2012 London ...

By Greg Couch - AOL NewsMELBOURNE, Australia -- Caroline Wozniacki, No. 1 tennis player in the world, had just completed another non-loss to Francesca Schiavone – the only way to describe Wozniacki's victories – when she was immediately put on the defensive about it. Schiavone had hit 41 winners, she was told, and you had only 14. Schiavone also made almost all of the unforced errors, meaning she took all the chances. Can you be the No. 1 player when the other player is taking all the initiative? "I just want to know who won the match,'' Wozniacki snipped. "I think I did that ... If I still win the ...
