Why does tennis produce the most poorly behaved people, while golf, an even more maddening sport to play, produces the best behaved?

I suppose the Williams sisters, whom I thought were universally admired, are as obnoxious as Dad?

When one of them beat the other at Wimbledon, the loser broke down crying, and the winner gave up savoring her victory in order to comfort her sister.

I suspect that his daughters may be a bit embarrassed of their Svengali's antics.

But I could just be recuperating.

Actually they seem a little more centered than he is. They don't need to play the race card because they are arguable the two best tennis players in the world. Their dad has nothing more going for him, and needs to keep himself in the limelight. It'a an ego thing.

Earl Woods pulled some stunts when Tiger joined the PGA Tour almost on par with Mr. Williams.

Best behaved ?? Go to a pistol or rifle range .... no ones EVER been rude to me.

Heavily armed shooters are very polite to each other.

If they Williams Sisters are to be judged by the antics of their father, then it should be mitigated by the class and sportsmanship of their mother.

If you ever watch one of their matches, you will notice that their mother claps after every good point whether its by one of the sisters or by their opponent. Plus, since their parents' divorce, it is their mother who travels with them around the world.

His daughters are about the sweetest girls you could ever meet, and unlike so many young kids are both very hard working and already looking towards the next peak.

I'll give him this, I've heard plenty of tennis afficianados complain that their domination of the sport is making the game boring. I couldn't tell you what the political affiliation of these whiners is, but I can tell you that they're all white. I would say, I think it's less because they're black, than it is that there are TWO of them.
