I feel so badly for Serena, and really wanted her to win. Multi-talented, multi-faceted young woman who was so adept at setting and reaching goals, just not this time. Next year!
ITA! She's almost beyond amazing. I really wanted her to win...and really wanted to have America represent...and strong women of color. She's the total package. ? Next....Olympics
I kind of wonder if she won't retire after the Olympics.

Serena's got game. She's not done !

What a year she'd had !
YES, the sore LOSER is done!
Wow...are Bitter Biscuits being served? Or does Serena owe you money or something?

Bitter biscuits? LOL! READ post #78. Spells it out, plain and simple.

I thought Serena handled her loss very badly but not surprised from someone who shouts the f word during matches. She is very self centered and does not consider the feelings of other people. She should have accepted her loss gracefully at the press conference. Instead she acted like a jerk not answering the questions. Not to mention leaving the premises within a half an hour.

I am very happy for the Italian ladies. It just goes to show you that brute force doesn't always win tennis matches. Skill is much more important.

I love tennis and this has been a great US Open.

EXCELLENT post! ITA with all your comments about Serena. She's self-centered, rude, arrogant, and she did act like a jerk at the press conference - not surprising. No one should be able to dictate which questions can or can't be asked.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth and have begun striving for ourselves ~ Buddha ~

Wonderful post, and I agree! I read that the Italian Prime Minister will be in the stands in New York today to watch the match.

I blame it all on Drake. Serena honey, toss him. Get a new coach and better attitude.

I don't know about her coach, but she REALLY needs to get a BETTER attitude.

I am starting to wonder about the age of one of the posters on this thread. The multiple "snarky" posts by one on this subject shows a high level of immaturity.

Congratulations to the Italian player who won her match.

I totally agree.I have been playing tennis all my life and have taught tennis to many young students. I have never used these sisters as an example of good behavior on the court. Serena could learn some court etiquette from Chris Everett - the greatest woman tennis player of all time - and the most gracious. I watched her play tennis growing up as a child and wanted to be like her on the court.

Yes, I admired Chris Everett as well....I think my first tennis racket was branded with her name....not to mention, we can credit her with the diamond tennis bracelet! I am happy for the Italian ladies, I spend a good amount of time there....maybe we are entering a new era in tennis....
