Yeah, I know, I'm a little late to the party - I've been sick in bed. So Serena Williams won the 2011 Best Female Tennis Player ESPY Award on Wednesday, July 13th. Ummmm....WHAT?

We were very wrong…!
Sorry folks, we were very wrong with our 2010 Australian Open Tennis Championships final predictions. We had our dollars (figuratively speaking) on Andy Murray and Justine Henin to win over the weekend.
