She's truly become the preeminent female athlete of all time. It would be nice if the media started to focus on *that* as much as they do on her clothes or her build or her “temper” or any of that other blah blah they come up with.

Venus is really a better tennis player when compared with Serena. Serena is the better athlete. Serena has an ability to forget the last bad shot that Venus doesn't. Serena can adjust her game on fly. Venus really can't. If your top spin, forehand approach shot isn't working Serena will adjust. Venus' wasn't working the other day and she just kept trying and trying and getting more and more frustrated until she lost to some nobody. Serena ain't that way. Serena can pull amazing shots out of anywhere. Venus being more of the tennis player needs to be in position to hit those amazing shots. This is why Serena has won 14 grand slams. She worked and worked until she figured out how to beat Vera Zvonareva. Serena if she remains healthy and motivated can win more titles than anyone else, ever. If she is able to keep her cool, she can also rake in money on a Tiger Woods level with big time endorsements. She can pull this women's sport into the limelight for a long, long time.

uhh…EC, doesn't that make Serena the better player and athlete? I can recall when they were still very young, their father Richard saying that Serena was the better player of the two, although at the time, Venus was winning and in the spotlight more frequently.

The media does NOT have it in them to report on the athleticism, skill, and brilliance of the Williams sisters.
If the media folks were to actually STATE that Serena and Venus Williams are the greatest women tennis players, they'd have nothing else to say…

Richard Williams: Venus And Serena's Father
“Williams says his family and the African-American community helped him cope during the toughest times. “If I didn't have my wife and my kids by my side, I would have never been able to do anything,” he says. “Then, I had Black people–my people–who were so high on what we were doing. Every time I was criticized by those people who thought I was doing things the wrong way, there were Blacks who told me I was doing it the right way.”
But it wasn't easy. He recalls a time when Venus competed in a tennis tournament in the Southern California area. She wasn't a household name, and all the other players knew was that she was Black and poor. “I overheard some people say we shouldn't even be there,” he says. `They are from Compton,' [they said]. `What are they doing here. They can't play.' People would pick at us all the time. They should be glad that I am a good man because if I wasn't a good man, I would have picked up a stick and knocked the hell out of somebody. There comes a time when you get tired of people picking on you.”
Looking back on the times that he fought for his daughters to be treated fairly, Williams says, “So many people want to jump on a poor guy out of Compton,” he says. “I came out of the worst ghetto in the world and was simply trying to prove to the world that it doesn't matter where you come from to be good in tennis. You don't have to be brought up in the country club to do this. You can actually come out of the ghetto and play tennis.”

Right on, Mr. Williams! Kudos for not letting these mofos trap you and your daughters in the race game. Ya know, the “black aint shit” nonsense.
You and your whole family deserve honor, respect, and love, for the grace, strength, and perserverance to rise above it all and be the true champions!

It was pretty surprising that neither Venus or Roger Federer didn't make it to the finals

If you look at Venus and the way that she hits the ball, she hits better than Serena. From a pure fundamentals stand point you would what your kids to study the way Venus hits the ball and servers. You would want your kids to have Serena's mental toughness and her strength.
Just my 2 cents.

Hey GreenLady!
A commenter from the HP had the audacity to call Mr Williams arrogant for raising two daughters that dominate at Tennis. I asked the commenter…How so? And HP scrubbed my comment. HP also posted an unflattering headline pic of Serena. With them… It's any way they can find the black female in a non flattering manner.

SouthernGirl2: – - – - HP- – SAAAAAAAA-LAP!!
Whew! THAT FELT GOOD!! :>)
SouthernGirl2
Thank You!
Oh, but you can bet some of the other posters let HP have it. They even misspelled Serena's last name. Williams is a common name. How'd they get that wrong? ***Rolling My Eyes***!

LOL GreenLady, you've got a way with communicating, and I LOVE IT!!! Rest up, my dear; you deserve it.
SouthernGirl2
Indeed, she does! lol

If Serena can adjust her strokes and tactics during a match then she is the better player. Venus' may be a more fundamentally sound player but I have noticed that she has an extremely difficult time making adjustments and working herself out of a rut during a match. (I'm not suggesting that she has any psychological problem.)

You can actually come out of the ghetto and play tennis.
Rather KILLER tennis at that.

(Lord, how I hate Disqus!)
Okay. Not to rain on Serena's parade, but I am soooo glad that she didn't put on those brown-colored tennis shorts that made her look as though she was mooning the audience.
And with The Queen in attendance?
I am glad that sister Serena has passed a milestone that makes all other contemporaries green-jealous. I know that they hate her and her sister, and think that black women aren't women but men in disguise. Keep on thinking that, stu-peds! The Williams sisters will continue to do just that–up the bar of brilliance out of your reach.
SouthernGirl2
You AIN'T lying! She's slamming! lol
http://WeeSeeYou.com Shanti2
LOL Disqus is a beyotch! Serena knows what to wear and when to wear it. I think if the Queen Motherhad been in attendance and she got to meet her in those see-throughs….Serena might have gotten goosed! LMAO

You are 100% correct. Venus does have trouble correcting problems on the fly.
