is that serena? if it is....oh my....GOD!!! G U I L T Y!!!!
Her accomplishments on and off the court will be judged in greater context some day. I can wait. She's not that vital to our society that we need to understand her in total today or next year.
I’m sorry, but to let these sisters play with the ladies seems to be a bit much to me. They seem to have taken enough steroids to beat most men.
I agree she’s just an accomplished athlete. Somehow I didn’t see the same outrage from people about Ryan Harrison’s racket throwing and ball kicking in his 1st round loss. Although he is not on the same level as Serena, bad behavior is bad behavior. By the way Ryan Harrison, 19 yrs old, is considered a promising up-and-coming junior player.
Black don't crack or wrinkle. It's also why they don't swim very well. Muscle is denser than other tissue.
Serena is a healthy body image IMHO. A lot better than BAWG's (boney a$$ed white girls) that our society values so dearly.
Women like Serena and Queen Latiffa are a threat to Katie Courics who are more comfortable interviewing Ashley Olsen on her feelings about eating a tuna sandwich than getting some real uncomfortable biatch slapping from real women.
Almost everybody! Really, can you honestly say that she is a woman playing against other women? Can you at least ask for more stringent testing?
fwiw-
She is all woman and no man juice. Her body mass distribution supports that she's just the right balance of what she's got. People said the same thing about Flo-Jo too.
Let's not focus on her appearance, but where she may be in a decade to be a leader in society. Powerful black women shouldn't be restricted to the likes of Maxine Waters or Shiela Jackson Lee.
Ha!
The Williams sisters have been coddled by the media for over a decade! HNIC? Salt in the wounds by the media? Get a grip! These two sisters don’t have that kind of “skin in the game”!
She is a sore loser!. Color of the skin doesn’t care about sportsmanship.
“Don’t even look my way”! ? What the hell was she going to do about it? Whip up on the “whitey” official?
Your kind of comments will only continue when people let you get away with it!
I call BS blackdog!
Much of the traditions of tennis are based on manners and ettiquette. Both of those are quite boring to a television screen. The media loves Serena for just the reason that she makes people talk wen her manners become a casualty to professional sport.
When you have a job pulling down $40,000,000 and some obstacle jumps in your way, your responses may not be so measured either.
The only folks in love with the Williams’ sisters are the media. The young female guns I know in tennis aren't trying to emulate anything from those two except not worrying about their weight and staying fit. The last two vocal tirade episodes from Serena were telling! She's a sore loser and feels entitled. Not surprising after all these years of media fawning. Serena honey, you ain't all that! Get a grip and play better next time. Your BS intimidation tactics aren't working.
Williams is already on probation for all of 2010 and 2011 , being forced by the the WTA to keep her emotions in check. So what will the WTA do to her now after her outburst today?
I’ll call BS on you too. This is a no-class individual. Threatened to force a ball down a lineperson’s throat 2 years ago in the US Open. Tennis is in enough trouble, it certainly doesn’t need this kind of classless behavior. And for the record, McEnroe’s tirades were classless also, it was embarrasing to watch him do that.
She should have forfeited the match after her outburst of demeaning words she said to the ump after she sat down! What a loser!
I see her as someone who might be using steroids thus full of rage. Let’s be honest, no way of knowing for sure unless giving her a drug test.
Tennis however used to be a gentleman’s (or gentlewoman’s) sport. The word “heck” was not even used on the court. Thank McEnroe for changing all this. There are those who still view it as such. Wanna see fights? Then go to a hockey game. Fans want to see the players act civilized at Tennis.
Very unattractive woman.
