Mauresmo dislikes Williams domination
Mauresmo launched a stinging attack
Beaten Wimbledon semi-finalist Amelie Mauresmo believes the current domination of women's tennis by the Williams sisters is becoming detrimental to the game.
Frenchwoman Mauresmo was thrashed 6-2 6-1 by Serena Williams in the second semi after Venus had cruised past Justine Henin in the first.
Serena is now the world number one with Venus close behind, and the pair have contested three of the last four Grand Slam finals.
"I think people are going to get bored of it," she said of the prospect of a future dominated by the sisters. "I'm not counting how many people since yesterday told me: 'We don't want an all-Williams final.' "To me, it's a little bit sad for women's tennis but maybe it's not the point of view of everybody." Afterwards, she was asked which sister would prevail in Saturday's final to which she would only reply: "You have to ask them for that."
