I missed the first 1/2 hour. I forgot to set the timer and was out running errands. Darn.
I just tuned in to hear O extole on the two and how positive they are. They never say anything bad to anyone about anything.
Yes, they agreed, they are just focusing on tennis.
I'll report as it happens....now all the commercials really start.
They just showed the dad, Richard, extolling the wonders of his daughters.
He said he had the girls to shake up the tennis world; it is boring. God gave them to me to play the game. I am blessed by God. He also said he will say anything to anyone and does not care what people think. (they panned the camera to their mom in the audience and she did not look happy at his words....his "having the girls" etc.).
He seems very arrogant and obnoxious.
Mom is our role model and we want to be like her. Serena is too flashy for the mom. Mom is very conservative. They were not allowed to say "Can't" by the mom. She wants them to be strong, powerful and can achieve anything.
The mother cannot be an avid JW. She is against all they stand for.
Wow, O said. What a wonderful mother...
I want Oprah to ask if they are dubs. And if they go out in FS.
They have 3 older sisters. Who do not talk to the media. They do not have the updated, flashy dental work that V, S and mom have. Serena is the most spoiled of hte group. They are all ambitious and family oriented. They talk everyday...about men, the world, life issues. They never feel in the shadows of V & S. They all were raised so wonderfully.
One is website designer, one is a hair stylist, the last is in law school in Washington. They all tried tennis. They were not any good.
Next O is going to cover their "style" and how it has changed tennis.
