She is an astounding athlete -- one if not THE best female tennis player in history.
My sports radio guys are always talking about this.
They say it shouldn’t be characterized by ‘female’.
She is the best tennis player in history.
In fact several say (and remember these are sportsy-sports dudes)
she & LeBron are 1a and 1b of ‘Greatest Of All Time’ athletes
in history.
I agree.

She is responsible for her behavior. She behaved like a spoiled brat.

@Sweet_Serenity - this isn't something new to the tennis world - this has happened for years.
This makes it acceptable? There was a time when this wasn't the norm.
Really?? When was that?

She has always had anger issues especially years back...doubt very much it is because of childbirth....

I'm sure she''ll be heartbroken. I don't understand all the acrimony against a gifted athelete. She over reacted....sure, but anyone who as ever played sports knows how high energy and emotions run during intense competition.

The only two things I know for sure is that I don't have enough talent to measure up to her sneakers, and she is a force of nature.

Exactly. As I said, Serena plays like a man, temper flares, self anger, competitive obsession and all. She's also always been resented by some, and that's their problem, not hers. I can still hear Johnny Mac yelling at the umpires more than once in his career, "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!!!!!"

The "you-know-what effect" has found many expressions.
