Cool local note here:
UAlbany will welcome tennis star Venus Williams to campus on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 5:30 PM part of the "Speaker Series."
Williams has quite a resume on the tennis court, becoming one of the most recognizable and successful female athletes in the last 20 years...
Oh imagine the speech commies if the shoe was on the other foot. Tennis star Serena Williams called men "weenies" after some male tennis players were whining about the playing surface in a tournament in Spain.
Tennis Superstar Venus Williams along with Martina Hingis, John Isner and Chris Evert will be in Albany this summer as part of the World Team Tennis League. The will play this July in the SEFCU Arena on the Campus of UAlbany.
Venus Williams was suppose to play her second round match yesterday, but instead has to withdraw due to an illness. Andy Roddick is able to move on after a tough match between Michael Russell.
