Serena

[DGS49]

Well, Serena has been thwarted again at the U.S. Open, but she remains the best woman player in the world, probably EVER.

It appears that the key to beating Serena is to focus on defense. I know, I know, a big deal was made of Karolina Pliskova's first serve percentage, and her 8 (or so) aces, but she won the match by returning 20-25 fantastic shots that Serena had already chalked up in her mind as points won. Usually, these were balls that Pliskova simply lunged at and managed to get back over the net, but there were excellent returns as well, on balls that it appeared she couldn't even reach. You can see it on her face when Serena feels like she was "cheated" out of a point, and she usually goes into a funk for one or two strokes afterward. It was these mini-funks that cost her this match. And the double-fault at the end, of course.

As always, when it became obvious that the match would likely be lost, Serena communicated to the viewers that she was "injured" - this time by grabbing her hammies and walking with a limp. And again, as always, she SAID that the "injury" didn't affect her play, while implying that the other girl could not have won if she hadn't been hurt. Yawn. This is so tiresome.

Serena's self-designed tennis outfit was possibly the most hideous, inappropriate, and absurd tennis outfit ever devised by a human designer. Next to this, cut-offs, a wife-beater T-shirt, and Converse All Stars with no socks would look stylish. The colors were inappropriate for tennis and they did not go well together. The fabric was the worst possible fabric for a sport where profuse perspiration is the norm, and the cut simply emphasized the worst excesses of her body type. She has been designing her own tennis outfits for years, and it is no wonder that no other tennis player has any interest in wearing them.

Will anyone watch the final? Not good for the advertisers, I suspect.

Like Mike Tyson, figure out the game plan and he was beatable. I do laugh when I hear people call her the top athlete or in the top 5. She isn't in the top 10,000. Women can't compete with men, that's why they have women's sports.

Now that we know gender is "fluid", women's sports as we know them may not be around long.

That's right! It is sexist that only men play in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, etc.

It's a Brave New World!!!




...while women are treated like dogs in the Muslim world.

Serena is a beast!

Russian tennis president banned and fined for calling Serena and Venus Williams 'the Williams brothers'

Russian tennis president banned and fined for calling Serena and Venus Williams 'the Williams brothers'

I and many others have suspected that Mr. Williams had in California, change the way women play sports. There are tell tale signs that some shenanigans were performed to make these 2 definitely have an advantage over normal women tennis players. But then when it was pointed out, he(Russian Tennis president) was called a racist for making his comment. All we need is a DNA factcheck on either Williams, and if found out that Mr. Williams did have the 2 physically changed, what would happen to the WTA? Talk about a war on women.

Mr. Williams was from all indications not the nicest of persons, but his management of his daughters' tennis development was pure genius. Recognizing early on that their size and athleticism would make them dramatically superior to the other girls in their age group (thus lacking real, intense competition), he had them playing against men and each other, constantly challenging them to be stronger and better than they were "yesterday." By the time they "came out," few other girls and women had ever played competitively against anyone as strong, quick, or relentless. Hence, their success was almost instantaneous.

Calling them "men" or "the Williams Brothers" is the essence of sour grapes.

Like it or not, as we see in football and basketball and, previously, boxing, no white men can have the combination of size, explosive strength, and quickness of the best "Black" athletes. In a hundred generations of "white" basketball players, there will never be a white MJ, LeBron, Kobe, etc. Never.

On the womens' side, no white (European, Asian, American) woman will ever have the combination of size, speed, strength, and quickness that Serena has. It just ain't in the genes.

Just for fun, imagine what would have resulted if Ricky Henderson's dad had been a tennis fanatic like Mr. Williams. Who could have stayed on the court with him?

Hmm, the Klitscko brothers dominated heavyweight boxing from '04 to '15. A black chick dominates women's tennis but just lost the top ranking and it's all over for white athletes? WTF?

White women have beaten Serena.

Have you ever seen Serena get angry? Yikes. That's scary. Wouldn't want to meet up with her in a bad situation when she's in a sour mood. She could probably kick most men's butts!
