Serena thumped in straights

[Hs0022]

As soon her fans learn to be humble she will win another major me thinks. Otherwise she will continue to be humbled by the new generation.

Here come the excuses...

 

[Old Lion]

Really thought she was becoming more humble. Guess not.

 

[Hs0022]

Yes, this is what is sooo classy according to Serenafans. I wonder what they would say if she was really humble and actually gave her opponent credit!! How hard is it to say "I was outplayed even though I didn't play badly" or "My opponent didn't allow me to play my best"?

 

[Hs0022]

Oh and thigh adductor injury...The reporters literally took that one out of the freezer and thawed it out and served it to the public on cue. Had she won they wouldn't mention it. I really love the see through double standard. They mention the injury and also advocates the "No excuses" slogan. Like having your cake and eating it too.

If she doesn't win another major who gives a fuck? She has 21 majors and at 34 years old is still making it deep with girls in their early 20's who should be running her off the court

I agree about that. I think she should stick around as long as she wants and get the record. She should have won more than 24 given how bad the competition has been since she started and Steffi retired.

If her fans are more humble, she can win more majors.

If that's an attempt at trolling, then it's a solid C-

If it's genuine, then you're the stupidest person on any message board, ever.

As weak as the WTA is now, Graf won the majority of her majors in the weakest era in WTA history. Right now isn't even close to what it was when Seles got stabbed, and Graf's only real competition was Sanchez-Vicario at major after major, and it was a laughable "rivalry". Sanchez-Vicario was the only person who benefitted more from the weakness of the era, actually.

This is what womens tennis is becoming.

Sanchez-Vicario was in the studio during Monday's washout day.

She told the story that before the 1989 FO Finals, a reporter how many games she thought she'd win, because during the 1988 Finals, it was a 35 min. 6-0, 6-0 match for Graf against a different opponent.

Sanchez-Vicario thought that was a cruel question to ask someone in their first Finals, and a 17 year old at that.

After Sanchez-Vicario beat Graf in 1989, she asked the reporter "How many did I win"?

One thing that irks me is that a lot of the side reporters in tennis seems to know little about tennis.

A few years ago, one of the reporters at Wimbledon asked what color panties a female player was wearing, after a windy day.

That reporter was kicked out of the tourney.
