This time, the little sister came out on top. Serena Williams bested sister Venus in straight sets, thwarting her older sister's chance to win the prestigious title for a fifth time. This was Serena's first championship on the famed grass courts in England since besting her sister in 2003, and avenging last year's straight set loss.

Serena took the first set in a tiebreaker, but the second set was never in doubt. The younger Williams sister's serve was too much to handle, and she was able to break early and rolled 6-2 in for the straight set win.

Tennis Legend Roger Federer asked his fans on Facebook to ask him some questions and picked three questions to answer from them. The 27 broached the subjects the Wimbledon roof, when he plans to call it quits from tennis, and offerded advice to the next generation of tennis players. You can follow Federer on Facebook by following this link.

Here is what he had to say in the exchange with fans.

When do you plan to retire from tennis?

When I stop playing tennis, which I hope will not be for a very long time, I plan to dedicate a lot of time to my foundation. I will also get involved with some businesses I enjoy and try to continue to give back to tennis. I will also try to catch up with my family and friends that I don’t get to see very often and I will make sure I am a great Dad and husband.

But, I don’t like to think about life after tennis as I am enjoying the sport so much now and don’t see stopping anytime soon.

How do you feel about the new Centre Court roof?

As a former Wimbledon champion himself, one might expect Michael Stich to appreciate the skill and dedication required to play tennis at the highest level and to compete in the world's most prestigious tournament. However, just ahead of the 2009 tournament kick-off, Stich, now a BBC Radio 5 Live commentator, has sparked outrage amongst some of tennis' female stars by stating that their role is as much about "selling sex" as it is their skills on the court.

Stich, who was the men's singles champion in 1991, made the comments last night after involving himself in an arguement over the loud grunting that many of the sport's top women engage in during play.

Stich, 40, said that the noises detracted from the women's "sex appeal", and quipped, "Just play it back to the women. It sounds disgusting, ugly, unsexy!"

When Stich was challenged that the women's role was to play the best tennis they could rather than look sexy, he stuck to his stance: "That's what they sell. They want to look good, they pay attention to their looks and everything."

The former German champ also joked that the only way to stop women players from grunting was to "shoot them."

Wimbledon is one of four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. Held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877, the tournament has also become known for its infamous rain delays. Wimbledon participants and viewers have grown to expect unpredictable weather, ranging from torrential downpours to on-again-off-again trickles. But beginning this year, the rain will no longer be a factor in game play.

When Wimbledon kicks off Monday, spectators will find a new waterproof feature on the Centre Court - a translucent retractable roof. Dedicated last month in front of crowd of nearly 15,000, many believe it was a long time coming. Others are sad to see the end of an era and a long-standing tradition. The outer courts will still be open to the elements, but it won't be the same with Centre Court fully protected.

Prior to the roof, grass-protecting tarpaulins needed to be deployed by teams of groundsmen at the slightest hint of rain, and then quickly removed when the rain ended. With the unpredictable nature of the rain in England, this start-stop process could go on and on and on.

The most prestigious tennis tournament will not have the number one player in the world as Rafael Nadal announced that he has withdrawn from Wimbledon because of any injury to his knee. Nadal held a news conference at the All England Club declaring:

"I'm just not 100 percent. I'm better than I was a couple of weeks ago but I just don't feel ready."

And added:

"I think I reached the limit right now. I need to reset to come back stronger," Nadal declared.

Nadal was bounced from the French Open earlier than expected last month and looked sluggish in a loss in a tuneup for Wimbledon yesterday.

Kim Clijsters is ready to make a comeback to the tennis court. The 25 year old Belgian star, who held the number one ranking, gave up the game to have a baby but is now ready to rejoin the tour. Clijsters, who was one of the most loved players by fans and players on the WTA Tour, will announce her full plans in a news conference on Thursday.

The Associated Press is reporting that Clijsters has already asked the USTA for a wild card in the US Open which is set for August. The star is also set to play in an exhibition match with Steffi Graf in the coming months at the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon.
