Amazing comeback story. I hope she wins the French Open now.

It is a nice win. I don't know if it was a great draw or if she is really back in a top 8 form at this point.

I think she is a nice lady who is good for the sport.
She IMO seems to be a happy spirit for the sport.

She's back IMO primarily because she makes at least 20 million a year in endorsements around the world by just being visible.
If she wins a major or two, the endorsements could go up to 40 million a year.

Well said, A CA Guy!

She is a good little girl.

Well, she did manage to beat Venus Williams, although Venus has been a little off-form lately.

Oh I know about Venus.

She has already pretty much blown out her body as has her sister hers.

When they were coming up, for years they were playing at 120% when all that was needed was 85% and their bodies paid the price.
That is an example where their dad was a mistake as a coach at some point.

Problem is, once you've stretched ligaments in your ankles or wrists, how do you tighten them back up?

Serena is kind of built like a heavy muscled line backer, so she is going to rip more and more muscles as she gets older and would never have had as long a career as Venus who has screwed her wrists up.

Both have had to be absent from tour over lots of injuries, though both have claimed it is because it is due to the success they are having designing fashions for giant color blind African women.
