Sharapova >>>>>>>>>> Serena. Happy now ?

Serena is a trouble makers, she has a personality problem and only a fool like you would believe fans adore her. She can’t even compete with Maria in the United States, let alone in Europe or Asia. don’t forget Maria is 5 years younger than Serena. Maria can only get more popular while Serena will still be out looking for trouble at the players, umpire, line judge, and even the tournament directors. Stop being so blind !

I usually don't write a lot on TW but I must to support you on this one, Sharapova indeed owns Serena in each and every possible department except accomplishments because Maria hasn't finished her career yet. I remember if I recall well where Serena was getting owned I think it was in Miami and she voluntarily blasted a ball at a ball boy and she got off the hook because her name was Serena and she didn't get exluded from the match but she really likes looking for trouble. I was happy to see that her name didn't save her last year in USO.

There was also that time in Linz against Nicole Vaidisova transitioning at the net Serena voluntarily made a huge scream to bug Nicole who finally made the error to lose the match I was surprised this lack of fair play was tolerized by WTA. Sharapova is more classy, popular, talented, intelligent, inspired, brillant, inspiring... I still don't get how Maria has shown so much respect to the American she really has too much kindness for her. Lol.

Anyways Serena is highly overrated with her ridiculous unbalanced technique. When Justine 2007 was clicking tennis wise how clueless and useless Serena looked on a tennis court this was the best tennis year of my life with 2008 to finally see bragger get her mouth zipped in all senses. Serena is disliked very much mainly because of her useless off court and on court attitude... She criticizes and acts all diva even permitting herself to impose to people what to or not to do via twitter because Miss didn't get a free ticket... Lol Also I didn't like what she said against Safina when she was #1 especially when the girl doesn't even know the WTA ranking rules that says since 2006 it's the player who plays the most and performs the most in the events that is favorised so you could win all slams that you want if you suck in the events you get the rank you deserve.

except accomplishments because Maria hasn't finished her career yet.

For a professional athlete this is the only one that really matters and LOL at you saying "because Maria hasnt finished her career yet" as if Maria has a hope in hell of ever catching Venus or Henin's accomplishments, never mind Serena's.

^ ...and with such an incredibly poor result for this failed "revolution" some tried to sell as tennis' Second Coming, this pack stands as the polar opposite. Further, you know the usual TTW suspects' motives for posting in this thread when they--on schedule--attempted to steer the topic away from the Russian headcases to yet another anti-Williams hate-monger rally.

 

[Kobble]

It is a Russian thing. Think Safin, Tursunov, and Kafelnikov.

Most of these "headcases" are millionaires and won't have to lift a finger past the age of 30. They're set for life.

You're just jealous of their money, fame, beauty, and acclaim.

The only thing OP is capable of doing is to attack them from behind a keyboard as an internet troll. Therefore, the only person who's a "headcase" is the OP.

It seems all the top Russian women of this past decade other than Sharapova are considered headcases. Dementieva has the nickname the demented one and has failed to live up to her regular tournament success in the slams, for example all her wins over Serena and some other top players in regular tournaments but never beats a huge name in a slam. Petrova is one of the biggest headcases ever seen, probably the biggest of all the Russians. Kuznetsova is considered a choker and underperformer vs the big names inspite of winning 2 slams partially by luck (well the U.S Open one especialy). Safina, no comment. Zvonareva is a hard worker who is now maximizing her potential, but used to be a huge headcases out there.

So are the Williams, except unlike the Russians they will be remembered as legendary Champions who brought power, athleticsm, and mental strength to a whole new level in the womens game on top of that. If I were jealous I would be attacking the Williams sisters or even Henin like the rest of the blind "Russian revolution" defenders since I would far rather be them than any of the Russian women if I had a chose.

 

[new_tennis_player]

The point being what have you accomplished in your personal life where you had to cope with similar pressures: playing for millions of dollars, performing before thousands of fans, some heckling, some cheering, touring non stop, battling through debilitating injuries, having weirdos making personal comments about you on the internet and so on?

You haven't. Not even close. But it IS easy to call someone a headcase anonymously on the internet, or better yet, every eastern european woman player a headcase?

If the Williams were so mentally strong, why would Serena break down to the point that she would take a ball, gesticulate towards a line judge and threaten to shove it down her f#ckin' throat? Complete with a variety, not just one profane words, along with a cowardly denial when questioned about her behavior, all of it recorded on live television of course.

That's got to be the biggest most obvious example of a headcase recorded in women's tennis and yet you claim it's the eastern euro's, every last one of them, who are headcases?

 

[CCNM]

Maybe they can't handle the pressure/attention that comes with winning.

 

[TMF]

Sharapova and Clijsters is taking all the spotlight in Cinci. Where is Serena(injured, yeah right)?? Tennis is not miss without Serena.

And yet, Serena is so popular and important for the sport.:roll:

Yes everyone is so excited about Maria and Kim that the match thread didnt even get beyond the 2nd page until Maria began choking.

Choked? Kim is a great player in summer hc. He beat your idol last year at the USO, so it's no shame losing to Maria. The player that should be ashame is Serena not showing up, who is declared by her fans to be greater than the sport ! LOL....

Maria was up 6-2, 5-3 and collapsed from there, her serve going awry and soon her ground game. Dont let logic get in the way of your arguments though, you never have before.

Also nice to know Kim is a he.

 

[veroniquem]

Maria's shrieks are insane. Just for that, she deserves to lose.

Quoted for truth.

There's more where that comes from...

Basically you’re saying a player have a lead suppose to win the match. When was the last time(if ever) you watch tennis ? In case you didn’t know, your idol have lost matches after winning the first set.

This is coming from you contradicting yourself by saying Courier had a weak bh and then this year you said he had a great bh. People from Ontario generally contradict themselves.
