I'm confused. Which one is the female?

 

[cezero]

I think Serena would win a few games, but also agree not worth getting too much into until it's official.

I'd rather see a contrast of styles with a Serena match vs. a Men's player, so maybe a poorer server like Ferrer. Although I could see Serena struggling to win a point vs. Ferrer, too much running.

Maybe Serena vs. Tipsarevic or Gasquet.

If I were to see Serena vs. a top server, how about Serena vs. Janowicz? Just to see how they return each other.

Or Serena vs. Isner.

lol

If Murray actually tried (which he won't) it would be a shitshow of epic proportions. As in, Serena would be lucky to take five points in a set. I can't imagine Serena is any better than that guy from Luxembourg that Murray triple bageled in Davis Cup.

Yeah, I don't think Serena can compete with the top 5-6 players. But after that, I think depending on matchups, I think it could be good. At least I think Serena could win a game or two. I think a slower but good player, maybe someone like Cilic or Isner, or Baghdatis, could be good. Maybe Youzhny.

The last time she tried this she was much younger, but she got absolutely annihilated. By Karsten Braasch, who at the time was the #203 man in the world. And who was playing with only one serve. And the most hilarious part was that when it was all done and she humbly changed her challenge request from "a male outside the top 200" to "a male outside the top 350", he quipped that if she waited a couple of weeks he'd be losing a bunch of points from tournament losses and he'd probably be down around #350 if she wanted a rematch.

I also remember that when Hewitt and Clijsters were dating she said that she had a lot of trouble even winning a single point against him, let alone a game or a set.

A few years ago I would have said it was Murray, LOL. He has manned up the last couple years though.

Serena will not be playing Murray. Everybody knows it is a joke.

While I'd be inclined to agree I think it's the kind of thing that if enough people keep talking about it and showing interest in watching it, it might happen. But it's very unlikely, and even if it happens it probably won't be played straight up and on the level.

Sharapova takes potshot at Serena... AGAIN!

LONDON — Maria Sharapova took quite a shot at Serena Williams — and it was nowhere near a tennis court.
At her pre-Wimbledon news conference yesterday, Sharapova was asked about a recent Rolling Stone article in which the author surmised that critical comments directed at an unnamed player by Williams were referring to Sharapova.
“At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on the court. I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else that’s just getting attention and controversy,” Sharapova said.
“If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids,” she said. “Talk about other things, but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think that’s what it should be about.”

Maria, poke a stick at the sleeping bear, why don't you!!!

 

[cezero]

Extremely old news.

Pics of Maria or this thread sucks donkey ass through a straw.

This may be old news, but Maria made sense! With all Serena has going for her, why bring up another player? It made no sense and I loved the "comeback!" It shut Serena up, made her apologize, and she hasn't been heard from outside of tennis since!

I am glad you changed "you're" obsession to "your" obsession. I am sorry but my obsession is to my wife of nearly 30 years. I am not so sure on what basis you make such a statement. But then again, your fucked up logic is all that you are left with.
