Spicy, eh?!

And people wonder why women have self-esteem issues.

What does it say about me that I think Serena, Venus and Steffi Graf are all attractive?

Oh for god's sake!!!!!

Breakfast at Wimbledon with the Sistahs Williams! I love when they play each other in the finals. Their power is only matched by each other! Love it! Love it! Love it!

I'm still on the ..they have bodies like men...statement.

I'd pay $$ to walk around in Selena's body for a week. lawddddd

I was waiting for the famous Serena cat suit pic....

Bodies like men??? You show me a MAN that's got a body like this!

First set 7-6 Serena

congtas to serena--2009 wimbledon champion

on a side note, how are all these euro-girls always #1 ranked and ain't won shit but the transylvania open? safina is #1 and never won a major--the williams' got 18 betwen them. bullshit

Serena!

Fury said:

EXACTLY!!!!

Fury said:

The Williams sisters tend to try and peak at Slams and not play the minor ranking tournaments so they don't acrue as many ATP points.

resolve said:

yeah i get that, but i'm just saying...the wta needs to revise something. if the williams sister have 8 out of 10 wimbledons, they need to be seeded #1 and #2--period. it's embarassing for the alleged #1 ranked player get her ass beat 6-1, 6-2.

Fury said:

That's not as embarrassing as getting her ass kicked 6-0, 6-1 by Venus in the Semi's.

Fury said:

As much as I love Venus & Serena, I actually disagree. The rankings don't need to be changed. The WTA has a responsibility to all the tournaments, so de-emphasizing their importance would be detrimental. Serena was in the midst of a 4-match losing streak before the French Open, which is how she lost the #1 ranking. Both Venus and Serena had a chance to be #1 if they had won the French. To Safina's credit, she's been remarkably consistent this year. She's the only player to reach at least the semifinals of the last 4 slams (including 2 finals).

The Williams sisters will keep doing their thing at the slams. Rankings have no effect on their performance.

TheResurrection said:

tell me about it

Despite her dominance on the big stages, Serena will stay at No. 2 in the world rankings behind Dinara Safina. The Russian reached the top spot this year even though she has never won a Grand Slam title. She was routed 6-1, 6-0 by Venus in the Wimbledon semifinals.

"I think if you hold three Grand Slam titles maybe you should be No. 1, but not on the WTA Tour obviously," Serena said.

"My motivation is maybe just to win another Grand Slam and stay No. 2, I guess," she added with a laugh. "I'd rather definitely be No. 2 and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be No. 1 and not have any"

Fury said:

I love you, Serena!

Sounds like she's doing it with Long Dong Silver doesn't it?

Real tennis fans (like myself) watch tennis every day on the Tennis Channel.

AlexdeParis said:

You ... well most tennis fans watch warm up tournaments to get an assessment of the players form going into the SLAMS. That's why they're called warm up events. The U.S. Open Series is a series of warm up events leading up to the U.S. Open Championships.

jstar69 said:

See, I've been watching pro tennis for decades and do remember that no one, and I mean no one ever beat Anna Kournakova. In her interviews, she always beat herself. The bitch beat herself out of tennis without ever winning a single tournament. There's Ille Nastase, John McEnroe and Jimmy Conners who weren't ever too gracious in defeat either. I'm like that myself so I find no fault with the practice. Why smile and congratulate someone who just embarrassed you in front of millions.

MuthaFunka said:

Let's not forget Dementieva who cursed the officials at the Australian Open for closing the roof when Serena beat her. She blamed the good conditions of the in-door court for her defeat.

AlexdeParis said:

I think that's going a bit too far.

dseann said:

But they still count. Besides, not all non-slams are "warm up" events. Indian Wells and Miami certainly don't fall into that category.

dseann said:

I don't. That body is second to none!

resolve said:

If these 2 look like dudes in the body department then your eyes must only see trannies.

AlexdeParis said:

All tournaments count for points, we all know that and you stated truthfully that tournaments like these two are mandatory for all the top players in the game. But Serena doesn't need to concentrate on those. To solidify her place in tennis history, all she needs to do now is rack up slams. 11 and counting.
