...didn't happen. Thank God.
Is there anyone besides me who is willing to make the observation of what a monster she has been to women's tennis and to women's sports overall?
Her histrionics and pouting over lost points, games, and sets, her manufactured screeching when she hits the ball, her ridiculous hair and (self-designed) outfits, have long been insufferable, but because she is "black," we are supposed to overlook all of that because she is an "American girl-hero" who wins all the time. At least she finally stopped blaming her losses on undefinable injuries and illnesses. I guess one of her handlers finally made her see how unseemly that was.
Do you remember the time when she said, "Well, I played my best today, but today that just wasn't good enough. My opponent played a great match and she deserved to win"? Don't remember that one? Neither does anyone else. She never said it. Even when she does grudgingly say something good about an opponent, it comes across as about as genuine as a Britney Spears smile.
She is the Shaq of women's tennis: she is among the most talented of women's tennis players, but she basically wins all the time because she is bigger and stronger than any other woman who ever played the game. You don't serve the ball 125 mph because you are dedicated, you serve that hard because of God-given strength and size, which - Lord knows - she has in abundance.
Her loss in the U.S. Open semi's was basically the result of a series of hissy-fits when she lost her cool because the insect on the other side of the net had the temerity to return some of her good shots. Two of the four points in the final game were just thrown away because she was trying to hit a winner when there was no real opportunity for it.
She can't retire soon enough. With that enormous ass of hers, maybe she can take up a second career in Sumo - break a few cultural barriers at the same time. Will we ever see another graceful and talented women's champion like Martina (either one), Chrissy, or Steffi? I can't wait.
