VENUS VS.
ESPN, 8:00 p.m. ET
Yesterday, in the latest upset from this year’s early rounds of tennis at Wimbledon, Serena Williams – seeded No. 1 and heavily favored to win the tournament – was beaten in three wildly momentum-changing sets by Germany’s Sabine Lisicki, a No. 23 seed. But you can still watch a Williams sister fight valiantly on TV tonight: ESPN presents a new documentary about big sister Venus Williams, whose toughest tennis battle of 2005 may have taken place off the court. That’s when she began lobbying British politicians, newspapers and other European opinion makers to persuade Wimbledon to provide to its women’s tennis competitors the same amount as their male counterparts.
