Her aim isn't really number 1. She doesn't really play the schedule anymore to reach number 1. Unless she wins like 5 big tournaments in a year which I don't see her doing

Ilnesses and injuries don't even out during careers. That's the most BS statement that I keep hearing ever. Some players have more injuries and severe illnesses than others and yet in despite of that have better careers than other players.

And Serena missed AO coming into 2004 with a knee injury that required a risky surgery that could have ended her career right there and then. Justine had the benefit of not playing either sister (especially Serena since she was the defending champion in both the US open 03 and Australian Open...

This. The fact that Serena didn't win a single title for 2 years from AO05 to AO07 should suggest that that had nothing to do with competition. Henin didn't have any affect on her career until 2007 and that was just for 1 year were Serena was returning back to some sort of form (still nowhere...

So you give Steffi the excuse of being in a slump for 2 years from her fathers alleged blackmail but then you dismiss the notion of Serena being in the worst form of her career from post- wimby 03 - 07 and account that to Serena having competition from henin even though they never played in...

Yes because dealing with a year long injury while also dealing with the murder of a close relative can definitely be equated to your father being blackmailed which somehow linked with her "bad form" that lasted for 3 years and suddenly ended when her rival was stabbed all while being fully fit...

Not to mention she finished ahead of henin in 04 in the year end rankings so your point about Serena never being ranked ahead of Henin is false.

Henin benefited from serena's injuries, lack of form, death of her sister and depression post Wimbledon 2003.

She was only the year end number 1 from 03 to 07 because Serena was out with injury/unfit and unfocused for the majority of it. People always bring up the excuse that Serena was only winning because henin retired from 08. Well what about the fact that as soon as Serena was injured post...

This is what regularly happens in interviews. Certain topics can be off limits for interviewers to ask eg. Robert Downey Junior and his incident with an interviewer asking about his father and his drug history. It's fairly common

In some years the championship didn't feature one player outside of Australian Nationality and quite a few of them only had a handful of non Australian players. Draws were mostly consisted of 32 player field where the top ranked player which was court, got bye's in the first round and ended up...

Hello singapore Police. Yes I'd like to report a mugging. He was seen in a Mercedes stealing the WC from the tifosi heart.

True. The top soccer players (Ronaldo/Messi) are paid ~30 million a year from just their contract. The most a top player in tennis has ever earned from prize money in a single year is ~ 15 mill and that only occurs if they have a near perfect season which is rare while Ronaldo and Messi could...

Where have you been for the last 10 years. Venus was diagnosed back in 2010...with symptoms occurring as early as 2007.

This is actually wrong. Stats suggest that she came to the net the same amount of times in the first set as she did in the second set.

Well then there lies the problem then doesn't it. A code violation shouldn't be weighted more because it's in a final compared to the 3rd round of a tournament. People have been saying that Ramos has been strict with giving out code violations. Sure when it only comes to racket abuse and...

True. Someone could tell me to go and F**k my mother in Serbian and I would have no idea of what that person said. :D

Then what was his reasoning for not awarding Venus a coaching violation during the Venus vs Cornet FO match in 2016 even though he accused her of it?

What is stopping them from doing it now. Or having the coach sitting somewhere else besides the players box and coaching from there. What is stopping umpires from giving violations when people in the crowd shout advice to players?

Tennis battle Royal

Start off by not drawing the typical big lips that you see in every racist caricature of black people. Even Disney know this

That wasn't the type of statistics I was leading towards. I'm not just talking about the violations that were assesses/handed out. I'm also talking about ones that might have been missed/let off or for whatever reason not handed out on both the men and womens matches. I don't think there is any...

It only states the number of violations. It doesn't really state the percentage of violations given does it? The men could be given out 70 odd violations but only out of 150 while the women could be given 35 out of 50 or whatever (just using as an example).

Carlos didn't actually give a code violation to Venus during FO 2016. He accused her of On court coaching but never actually gave her a code violation.

Yeah that's what I got from reading Serena's body language and situation. I don't know why she would think that though. In all my years of watching tennis I've never seen any umpire take back a violation. Maybe Serena has. Who knows. It's probably the reason why she felt she could smash her...

Raikkonen to sauber. Leclerc to Ferrari. 2019 is shaping up to be mouthwatering. Let's see if Vettel can handle the new boy.

Didn't Nadal use the same exact words against Carlos Bernades twice. Threatning to have him never to officiate on of his matches again. Which IIRC Nadal has gone through with. Yet the media weren't hounding that story and it wasn't nearly as big as it is now.

I think it's fair to say we don't have enough post match TV interviews, articles, on court microphones or even media in general during that era to equivocally say that.

And no one has handled them in a consistent manner.

1) She has problems with every tournament? Lol nothing but wild exaggerated lies. 2) Another lie. She's never said such a thing. 3) How can they have many year long problems with IW when they didn't show up for the majority of it. The public were booing her for something that wasn't her fault...
