re: Serena Williams & PED

This is hysterical. Serena is the best womens player ever.

Of course she is, but that's why she should be so ashamed that she will never surpass Graf and Court. Martina Navratilova is another tennis player who carried too much weight at the beginning of her career, but then she got serious about her fitness and she started dominating. However, Martina didn't have Serena's talent. There's no reason why Serena wouldn't have won 30 Grand Slams if she had taken her fitness as serious as say, Sanya Richards, Lolo Jones or Jessica Ennis.

Here's how Jason Whitlock put it a few years ago:

"Think about it. At 5-foot-9, 145 pounds, Serena would be unstoppable on the court, on the cover of every magazine still in circulation and downloaded on the Internet three times more often than Anna Kournikova.
Instead, Serena is arguably pushing 175 pounds, content playing hard only in the major tournaments, happy to be photographed on dates with pro athletes and proud to serve as a role model for women with oversized back packs."

Compare Serena to Ennis and tell me what you think.

I like Serena and think that she gets a bad rap from American fans and television commentators and any chip that she has on her shoulder over it is justified.

bullshite, she gets her "attitude" from her father, plain and simple.

I don't lump Venus with Serena. IMO, Venus has a lot more class than her sister.

Arguably pushing 175 my arse. I'd guess she goes over 200. Just look at the picture of her in the swimsuit. She is HUGE.

Can you imagine how dominant she would have been at 145 pounds?

enormous booty

Serena and Kate Uptan would tear up a buffet.

But to say she is more dominant now than in 2003 when she rattled off four straight majors is to make a stupid statement that you should feel stupid for making. Oh PARDON ME, sir! I didn't mean to offend you. Will you forgive me?

---

You didn't offend me, you just said something that was dumb and I told you about it.

remember when Pete Sampras was serving 120 mph back in the early 90's and that was blazing fast. Of course she is doping. Look at her.

There is no correlation between doping and serve speed.

Based on the fact that she takes PED's

Well then that settles it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Why do you think she would lose power at 145 pounds? Excess body fat doesn't increase strength and power.

---

Extra mass and strength would account for more power. On average, who hits serves faster, men or women? Who hits baseballs farther, small guys or big guys. How about long drive champions? Hardest slap shots?
I know there are exceptions, but more size and strength equates to more velocity in "swinging" sports.
At a lighter weight, she would be quicker and get to more balls.

Nothing worse than a woman who thinks she's fine, but she's really nasty as frick.
