Venus and Serena took to court together for the first time in, like, forever for a kids clinic in Washington DC. It may not be anything, but thanks to the effed up weaves on both that look like they’re deep into the third set of a Wimbledon semifinal and the fact that they’re hitting *actual* shots, I think I’ve just moved past my solemn depression at their absence in tennis to excitement at their prospective comebacks.

Incidentally, it was revealed this week that Venus (and Serena) had both withdrawn from Madrid and Rome. This was of course met with the usual melodrama from the usual suspects, but really it’s only confirming what we knew months ago. Serena obviously isn’t ready to compete and from the moment it was revealed that Venus signed up for Brussles, it was clear that there would be no way she would compete in the two big claycourt events. Now if she withdraws from Wimbledon and Roland Garros, two events she has played in every year since 1998, then we can worry.

Anyway, without further ado, let the picspam begin.
