Serena is about to pass her in titles. Exactly how do you think there "isnt even an argument?" Chrissy Evert basically said when this is all over Serena wont be able to be touched
You said the Federer / Nadal argument amounted to nothing more than 17 > 14. Just sayin'.

A recreational drug I haven't taken or an illness I haven't had.

I personally disagree with your assessment that she was on recreational drugs. I also think her being sick is a bit too easy. It was very weird to see.
Why wasn't Venus concerened? Venus looked embarrassed and not concerned at all. Venus knew what was going on. My theory is that Serena partied hard with some type of stimulant the night before and then took something to bring her down but she mistimed it and was a wreck when it was time to play. Maybe the stimulant part didn't happen but she was definitely on drugs. Looked like ambien or Xanax and too much of it.

Chrissy Evert has as much credibility when it comes to analyzing GOAT as her Weddings vows.
Wouldn't take her seriously for either occasion.
Steffi Graf had 107 singles titles when she retired at age 30, and Serena has 69 at the age of 33.
When a top player shows utter lack of self control, threatening a player to not go back to the locker room after a match, intimidating linesperson,(which is an actual code violation)by saying "she wished she could shove a tennis ball down for throat", and insulting chair umpire on yet another occasion,
It doesn't engender RESPECT and people do wonder why Serena Williams has never been treated like every other player has been treated who didn't follow the Code of Conduct rules.
McEnroe and Connors were fined, and SUSPENDED for less.
So why the double standard?
So compare Steffi Graf on the other hand ALWAYS acted like a Champ on court, and gave respect to her opponents. That is why she is still adored and admired by fans worldwide.
The only time she ever "got into it" with anyone was after a match when a fan of her opponent heckled her throughout her match by giving her the Nazi salute.
She didn't go cry to the Umpire, or whine to the Press after the match about this anti-German sentiment.
She never blamed all Americans for the action of one.
She didn't boycott the tournament.
In fact she never mentioned it at all.
Steffi handled it by dispatching her opponent quickly, and after the match by going over in front of where he was seated, and telling him what she thought of his Nazi Salute, and showing him where, by gesture,yes, an obscene gesture, where he could stick his Salute.
Bud Collins, waiting for her to do a post match interview didn't even know what had been going on during the match, and cluelessly stated, "Steffi will be joining us shortly, she is chatting with fans"
Uh no Bud.
If I ever find a recording I made of this match I will post it on youtube.
Never heard of this, right? I saw it and couldn't believe the guy wasn't escorted out during the match or that no one ever even mentioned it.

I don't hate her, hell I'd be all up in that. Just give her a month or two to de-roid back down, get some curviness back. Maybe start eating ice cream more often, puff up dem tittays. Hellz yes.

There is no variety in the women's game now.
In fact the women's game reminds me of a very poor copy of the male baseliner's game except without the control to maintain an actual rally or the ability to construct a point consistently.
It is no wonder there are no great clay court players in the women's game today, and few show the ability to even move on it properly.

Seles NEVER beat Graf on anything but Clay and Rebound Ace which was a very slow hard court made of ground tires that isn't even used anymore.
With her two handed on both sides game Seles would have ALWAYS been at a disadvantage against Graf on a faster surface particularly as speedy as Graf was.
By the way, I would think that Seles' father's diagnosis of Cancer (that he fought and eventually died from) that she learned of when she returned to the U.S. after Hamburg incident would have affected her more if not equally, than a 1.3 centimeter wound, that's about a half inch that if her mentally were better, would have been a treat and release, instead of overnight stay.

So you're one of those. Race card!
Venus don't look all bulked up like her...,but by the way, learn to take a joke.

That's B.S. and ignorant of even fairly recent history.
Arthur Ashe was admired, respected, and well liked,popular and was very successful.
Yannick Noah, he and his game was so likable that he was popular in the U.S. even though the guy is french.

Apparently you weren't around when our own Louisianian Chanda Rubin played.
Unfortunately injuries sidelined her very promising career.

Why the hate?...She has a HORRIBLE on court attitude, she has a HORRIBLE off court attitude, she's absolutely the worst sportsmanship of any professional athlete I've ever seen...she's literally a pouty bitch. I hope she quits and I NEVER have to see her play tennis again.
If you love and watch tennis there is no way you like her. EVERY single tournament while there are amazing matches all over the grounds we have to watch Serena play like shite and huff and puff and act like every point the other girl wins is just because she unexplainably fricked up. Oh on court #2 Chardy and Mahut are 6-6 in the 5th...we're going to show you Serena serving for the first set at 5-2. WTF? I guess the dipshits at the network are partially to blame for my hate of that Williams sister. I dig Venus, she's graceful and respectful and a helluva player.
