Along with Serena, Venus took what is usually tennis's most chaotic and contentious Grand Slam event and consumed it like an olive off a toothpick. Nothing that happened in New York over the fortnight -- not the rise of controversial 20-year-old men's champ Lleyton Hewitt, not the boom and bust of 19-year-old Andy Roddick, not even the stirring rebirth of Pete Sampras -- could retard the Williams express.

--from "American Revolution" by S.L. Price, Sports Illustrated, Sept. 17, 2001
