A little more rest maybe.

I think she is a great player and I remember seeing her first at age 5 hitting with her sister.

I’m sorry, do they check for steroids in tennis tournaments regarding the women?
I really believe based on that linebacker body with muscle tone that she was enhanced.
Who looks like her anywhere else without the droids.

Just my opinion, and I like Americans winning, but...

Serena’s logged a lot of miles in her career. Cant win them all but she’s no slouch.

I’m not at all knowledgeable on the subject but they at least publish stats that imply it is done.

“Did she lose with any class?”

No - raced out of there as fast as she could.

I get so embarassed by her screaming at not just her point but when the opponent misses. She has no class and no sportsmanship. too da loo Serena.
