Serena Williams

think she would right at the top in the contender line. Just gotta watch her shoulder.

i like watching the hungry ones, and the surprises.......Boris Becker was one before he went to the top of the mens, he wasn't even ranked before Wembleton, but everyone was amazed as his service, and he was extremely deadly on the grass....



actually it isn't guess of the amount in the set, it's harder in the men's side cause of the 5 game rule, women's is only 3, women's side you have to win 2 out of 3, men's side you have to win 3 out of the 5.

with Wimbledon....speed and power are key on the grass.....

Federer isn't gonna last to long, Nadal too.......age and stress done to the body.....i would watch the lower people for upsets...

If womens was 5 sets she'd be undefeated
 
I hated to see the match end as it did and I think Serena had a great shot at it, but the fucking Ump was an ass & pretty much destroyed the game.

Serena got her ass kicked. People are using the ump call as an excuse. She was getting owned long before that happened.
 
I don't watch her dating back to her first Open tantrum where she should have been disqualified. Also any grunting is too annoying for me

So is Djokovic 13 bounces before each serve

BUT... here's the situation explained which shows what a sefl centered POS she is

 
i've got to admit it was a heck of a match overall. Naomi really held herself with the whole thing. Really surprised on how the first set came out. Now the second set when Serena was up 3-1, is when the ump called her for "coaching" now the issue with that is, everyone does it both on the women's side and on the men's, personally i think it was not right for the ump to go after her for that, and that started the ultimate melt down of the rest of the match......

here is the highlights:


throwing the breaking the racket on the ground, yes i see a violation with that, i've done it, and it cost me a point in a match when i was playing.

Here is the open commentary of the match....


Have to say Naomi played a hell of a match, she kept her head straight and focused.....

i also have to say there are a few things that need to be addressed and Serena pointed them out.....
 
Wrong dude. The meltdown was the result of getting her ass KICKED in the first set, followed by 2 double faults in the second set: this is when she smashed her racket (automatic penalty), which totaled SIX at that time. She was her own worst enemy

Asto 'coaching' this needs to change. What other sport does NOT allow coaches to coach during play? Ridiculous rule
 
Actually no, if you had watched the match, first set loss, was to get to know the other opponent and how she played in this kinda setting. They had already played before so they knew each others tactics. First set was to wear down the opponent. Second set she was up 3-1, untill the coaching call and that right there rattle her, then she lost the next point to bring the set to 3-2, at the switch of is when she double faulted give the next points to make it 3-3, when she broke the racket in that round, the opponent was given already a 15-0 advantage in this point on Naomi serve, which Serena said she was robbed, then the berating of the ump was the final straw on the camels back, which she lost a total point bringing the total to 3-4, Serena came back with a major strike cause she was pissed 4-4, then she argued with the ump again calling him a "Thief" cause of the (15-0) point, that when she lost the the point going to 4-5, then it went to Naomi to finish it off for the win....

You are full of shit.

NOBODY drops the first set for ANY reason other than they got their ass kicked...ESPECIALLY in women's tennis where you only play a best of 3, not a best of 5.

That's the dumbest bullshit excuse I've ever heard about any sport in my life.

Most cheaters do get rattled when they get caught. She has nobody to blame but herself. Her coach even admitted they were cheating, so that's all on her. You can't blame the official for calling cheating when they were in fact fucking cheating.

That's like blaming the official for calling pass interference when the defensive back flat out tackled the fucking receiver before the ball got there.

Yet another stupid, moronic, bird brained excuse on your part.

Yet again you're blaming the official for calling a fucking rule. He didn't "GIVE" Naomi a god damned thing. He PENALIZED Serena for BREAKING THE FUCKING RULES YET AGAIN.

The common denominator is all of that is: SERENA and her cheating and big fucking mouth.

If she had just shut the fuck up and played tennis, we're not having this conversation.
 
really i'm surprised we are.....i thought it was a great match and i give props to Naomi for winning it despite the drama that took place on Serena's part....

all i did was just explain the match, and yes some player to give up the first set to take the second set by storm, when you do that it takes all the wind out of the opponent, many player have done it, from Martinia, Steffi, Chrissy, and many others, and they all been coached from the stands, this is just one of the first time it's been called on, that's it. Even on the men side there is coaching from the stands......it comes to the single item "coaching" in tennis from the stands, and this match is what brought it to light...now the players association and the WTA is looking more into it....

now jumping on the UMP's honestly it should have been done, but there is a problem, when the men do it, they don't get penalized or it they do, they don't get 1 game lose because of it, even Johnny Mac did get a game lose for all the ones he's done to the UMPs, he may have gotten fined, but that a far as it gotten, now i have seen auto forfeit of the match but that only when things get real serious with the player and the ump....
 
In spite of all the tournament pundant apologists (and Billy Jean King), even Martina Navratalova called Serena out.

Serena repeatedly demanding an apology only proves how privileged and entitled she thinks she is. SHE owes Naomi a PUBLIC apology

also using the excuse that the men get away with it to the umpire is just another tantrum mindblower

BTW, her coach said ALL coaches cheat (I did not hear him say we were cheating).They probably do, BUT, why is this the only sport where coaches are PROHIBITED from coaching?
 
She played a helluva match.

That she performed as well as she did carrying an extra 25 to 30 pounds is a testament to her strength, skill and determination.
 
Serena Williams is a force of nature. When she's on her game she's unstoppable!

That said, no one wins them all and temper tantrums are unnecessary and unprofessional.

The sport doesn't need another McEnroe.
 
I heard on the BBC that it had been a long time since a first timer won back to back majors. Didn't watch any of it myself.
