ejp626 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I doubt many people saw it, but here in the UK, some BBC talk show had Serena Williams on. A lot of the talk was on the salicious side and showing photos of her in tight, tight outfits, but she kept saying she was too young to talk about relationships, etc. It was entertaining and she came across pretty well -- not as a complete airhead.

Soulstation1 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 serena keeps our relationship on the down low to the press i tell everyone about our relationship ... i don't give a ..... serena lost the first set 6-2 Quote
BruceW Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) Hey Soulstation, Glad to see you are not a one dimension sports fan. Tennis great. Also requires concentration to see what is going on in the game. Of course the women are nice tooo. Lately Serena has been losing the first set a lot. Needs to put an end to that if she wants to win it all. Bruce Edited June 23, 2005 by BruceW Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 The last time I watched tennis it was about hitting a small ball over a net? When did it become jumping up to catch a large ball? I'm confused. Quote

chandra Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) As you would have heard by now, she is out of Wimbledon... S. Williams (4) lost to J. Craybas 3-6, 6-7 Edited June 26, 2005 by chandra Quote
BruceW Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Serena is in denial.... She believes because she won so many big tournments that she does not have to condition. Her conditioning is terrible. Crayba made her look like an amateur, making her lunge at shots and tripping over her own feet (wrong footing). Serena is playing "heavy" (that does not necessarily mean she is fat, it means she is too heavy for the sport. Losing weight for sport is not the same as losing weight because you are fat. She is no longer fast on the "gets", doesn't run back for lobs and cannot make the side to side moves that made her famous. Comon Serena, Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 yeah i'd seen that serena was bounced it not like she played well her first 2 matches she could lose a few lbs, hell we all could lose a few lbs i still the booty..... Quote
chandra Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 I just saw the 2nd set replay on NBC. Craybas played a tight game but Serena was all over the place, some brief moments of brilliance but just way too many unforced errors. It is just unwatchable for me to see Serena cry in the post match interview. I am sure she is disappointed but I did not think it was 'cry worthy'. May be that is because she is not used to losing this early.. but still weird. On the other hand, hearing the Craybas story of being a journey woman for 9 years in professional tennis and getting her first breakthrough at 30+ age was great. And it was great to see her genuinely happy reaction... Craybas's next match is against Venus. I like Venus's game and it is really Venus' match to lose but I am going to root for the underdog. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) venus is gonna win it all she beat sharapova no prob that girl GROANS LOUD......... Edited July 1, 2005 by Soulstation1 Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Posted July 4, 2005 i thought roddick would win one set vs federer and couldn't do it Quote
chandra Posted July 4, 2005 Report Posted July 4, 2005 i thought roddick would win one set vs federer and couldn't do it ← When Hewitt or Roddick play somebody else, I think who could beat these guys, they are so good. But when they play against Federer, they are reduced next to nothing. Federer's straight set victories against both of them should rank as one of the most dominant performances I have seen in a while. When I watch Federer, it looks like I am watching an artist rather than a player. He just rules the grass court. We are probably watching a great Tennis icon in the making. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Another episode of Serena not giving credit to a player who beat her When you are #1 or defending champ your competition gives 110% Venus should retire she can't train at the level she needs to be compete Edited July 1, 2014 by Soulstation1 Quote
