Caption competition winner, No.1
Venus and Serena Williams
What should appear here? You told us
The Williams sisters were the talk of Wimbledon - but what did they find time to chat about between points.

We asked you to provide the words to the above picture.

You were inspired to all kinds of responses, largely focusing on their sibling rivalry and their father's penchant for marker pens.

But there was also mention of their friendship with two soul legends - and even a reference to their supposed relationship with a certain Hansie Cronje.

But the winner, who claims a selection of goodies from the BBC Sport Online locker, is Stewart from the UK, who reckons Serena was telling Venus:

"OK, my best two Barbies and my Gary Barlow CD if you let me win."

It might not have paid off for Serena, but it worked for Stewart - and there will be another chance to win later in the week.
