{blackbabes} VENUS WILLIAMS BEATS SISTER SERENA IN NIGERIA EXHIBITION

LAGOS, Nigeria -- A dancing, smiling Venus Williams topped her sister Serena in an exhibition match in Nigeria's largest city, saying her win showed 2013 "is going to be a great year."

Venus won 6-4, 7-5 on Friday at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club. Despite a 33-degree (91 F) heat that felt like 38 (101), Venus appeared loose during play, at one point dancing at an intermission, joking with the umpire and playfully teasing her sister.

Serena grew frustrated by her play, several times kneeling on the clay court, and pressing her head against her tennis racket. However, she did a double-take and laughed when she saw a sign in the crowd from a man declaring himself to be her "Nigerian husband."

The sisters move on to South Africa as part of their two-nation tour.
