Serena had a baby just about a year ago. She'll be 37 in about 2 weeks. She suffered a pulmonary embolism in January. So yes, Serena is "fat" compared to the Serena of old. And probably less lithe in the body and face. How many people, athletes or not, are physically the same at 37 as they were in their 20s?She has more Grand Slams than any male player and has been dominating the Tennis scene for 20 years. She's definitely the G.O.A.T.
And she is one of the best female tennis players even today. 23 major singles titles, 14 doubles titles, and 2 mixed doubles titles. A record in the Open Era. She remains the one singular player that other women players do not want to face. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I have absolutely no idea what Serena's political position is but whether she is liberal, conservative, or something else, she is an athlete who had an emotionally tough day. Her actions were not representative of her whole career.while not representative or her entire career she has had many of these moments.
BTW, Serena Williams is a Jehovah's Witnesses and takes a neutral stand when it comes to politics.
Second BTW -- there's more than a slight negative racial tinge to many posts. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

as for the point / game penalty the referee was right. we all get mad at the nfl refs with the targeting calls and possesion calls. many times the refs are properly enforcing stupid rules. they are to enforce not decide if rules are good. serenas coach admitted he was coaching. again it is a stupid rule. change the stupid rule dont get mad at umpire / ref for doing his job properly Originally Posted by tinyisgreat
What does that have to do with anything?And she’s been maligned for having the audacity to absolutely smoke Williams. Williams complained the umpire was being sexist. She wasn’t playing Bobby Riggs. It’s a damn shame the tennis and media elite has jumped on Osaka.
Also, Serena’s tantrum had NOTHING to do with her race. And in all the photos Ive seen, Osaka was not robbed of anything. She got the win. She got the trophy and she got the purse. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider
