Serena Williams Appreciation Thread (and don't come here wit no bullsh*t)

I think Serena Williams is a beautiful example of an athletic, accomplished, sista and I just wanted to give her some props. clapping

(PS: If you think she's "gross" please keep the negativity to yourself because this thread is about celebrating all that she's accomplished and her physical beauty.)

Muthafunka and Bboy, feel free to post as many big booty Serena pics as you wish cuz I like a big booty on a girl too. wink









And finally that hussy out on the town with my baby daddy after getting it in, in the limo. mad

Serena Jameka Williams (born September 26, 1981) is an American professional tennis player who, as of March 28, 2009, is ranked World No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association, having now held that ranking on four different occasions. She is the current US Open and Australian Open singles champion and has won 20 Grand Slam titles: ten in singles, eight in women's doubles, and two in mixed doubles. She also has won two Olympic gold medals in women's doubles.[3] She is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously. Williams has won more career prize money than any other woman, in any sport.[4] In 2005, Tennis magazine ranked her as the 17th-best player of the preceding forty years.[5] She is the younger sister of former World No. 1 professional female tennis player Venus Williams.

Serena was born in Saginaw, Michigan to Richard Williams and Oracene Price. Williams is the youngest of five sisters: Lyndrea, Isha, Yetunde (deceased September 14, 2003), and Venus. Richard and Oracene raised their children as Jehovah's Witnesses.[6] When their children were young, Richard and Oracene moved their family to the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. Richard dreamed of making at least one of his daughters a tennis superstar, hoping that involvement in sports would give them an opportunity for a better life. The children were homeschooled.[7] Serena is still coached by both her parents.[8] [9]

From 2004 to 2005, Williams dated Brett Ratner. In 2007, she was linked to Miami Heat Forward Udonis Haslem and actor Jackie Long of "ATL" & "Idlewild" fame. Williams was dating rapper Common in 2008, although when asked on February 25, 2009, about her dating status, Williams said, "Right now, I'm dating my tennis racquet."[10]

Serena currently resides at Ballen Isles in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida[1] and has an apartment in Paris.[11]

Williams is primarily a baseline player. Her game is built around taking immediate control of rallies with her powerful and consistent serve, return of serve, and forceful groundstrokes that can come from both the forehand and backhand swing.

Her serve is widely regarded as the best in the women's game. She is known for having a very smooth motion and her serve is one of the most highly respected on the WTA tour. For example, Lindsay Davenport has said that Williams's serve is the best serve that she has faced on the WTA tour. Williams frequently hits serves over 120 mph and often varies the placement of her serve; in 2006 at Cincinnati she struck a serve which measured at 127 mph and in 2008 at Charleston she recorded 129 mph, a speed which only two other female players have exceeded.[12] She can hit flat, slice, and topspin serves to both corners of the service box. Williams is capable of overpowering her opponents when returning serve, off both second and first serve.

Williams is also effective at the net, employing solid volleys (being especially effective on the drive volley) and powerful overheads. She also can produce good drop volleys, a shot that not many players use.

Although Williams's forehand is among the most powerful shots in the women's game, her backhand is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, on the Women's Tennis Association tour. Williams can often hit a winning backhand shot in any position or place on the court down the line or cross court albeit on the defence or under pressure. Williams strikes her backhand groundstroke using an open stance. She also uses the same open stance for her forehand.

Because of her aggressive style of play, Williams hits a relatively high number of unforced errors. This is tempered, however, by the fact that she typically hits more outright winners than her opponents. Other times her number of unforced errors are tempered by her powerful strokes forcing her opponents to commit errors.

Although many think of Williams as only an offensive player, she also has a good defensive game. Williams is quick around the court, and her core strength enables her to hit the ball efficiently from difficult positions. Williams has more variety in her game than the typical offensive baseline player. Although she normally dictates play from the baseline with heavy strokes, Williams occasionally slices her backhand or hits heavy topspin groundstrokes or drop shots to change the pace of the ball.

Truly amazing. Her and big sis - 2 of the greatest female tennis players ever, hands down. All the shit they went through (and continue to go through obviously) to become the tops of the game is even more reason to revel in their greatness. Inner-city, Gang turfs, Racism - Their struggle and accomplishment is to ALWAYS be commended and admired.

a lot is said about non white athletes competing in predominantly white sports...well, all bullshit aside, the girls have not only competed but blew the fucking walls in on the tennis world...in every sport there are athletes that come along and set a new standard and cause their competition to step up their game...these 2 did just that...both could walk away from the sport right now and have a lasting impact on tennis...anybody that would deny that is foolish...

She'll go down as one of the greatest female tennis players ever. Venus will as well. Those girls completely revolutionized the sport with their athleticism, and tennis is all the better for it.

That's usually the case in all sports that weren't easily accessible to minorities. Tiger knows it best. He's the GOAT and I'm sure that pisses A LOT of people off.
