LSHMEAB Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, GoBills808 said: Right. Brady is not gracious in defeat. Throws his helmet, whines to refs, etc. Coming to the podium and giving polite cliche's does not equate to gracious. Serena and Brady are both "perhaps" the greatest to ever play their respective sport, but neither is gracious. I've never really had much interest in grace. Nobody's happy when they lose and the true greats are never going to just accept it and let it be. That's probably part of the reason they're great to begin with. Every single great player in every single sport has had a massive ego, whether they're publicly gracious or not. But that is awesome for Pegula. Love to see the offspring of billionaires go out and make a name for THEMSELVES. Edited January 12, 2020 by LSHMEAB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Holmes Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 6 hours ago, KD in CA said: Funny how much she has in common with Brady. Of course, while they are both insufferable during the game, he is at least gracious in defeat afterward. And while they are both quite obviously the most successful of all time in their field, I wouldn't call either the 'greatest'. He's the biggest f'in crybaby biatch in all of sports...

I cheer for Serena’s opponent just as I cheer for the Cheaters* opponent. This just makes me even more excited about the possibility. Serena can be a very nasty person. It shocked me in person, and I’m not easily shocked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 5 hours ago, KD in CA said: Other than recency bias, on basis is she? Billie Jean King was historically more important to women's tennis. And now that you've made me google tennis records, I see that King won the same # of Grand Slam titles as Williams. Navratilova and Court both won many more. Even using the myopic view of only counting singles GS titles Williams is still 2d in that category. And she's only 8th in all time tournament wins, so not sure how all of that adds up to 'greatest'. In fact, I need to retract my prior comment about being the 'most accomplished' female tennis player as she clearly is not. They were greats but they were mostly playing nice ladies with wooden tennis rackets. Williams best far better players and would have destroyed each golf tkose champs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, as I know she is adopted from South Korea, and my daughter is adopted from Southern China. My little Mulan.

BisonMan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Hard to believe this match would ever be close. Serena typically gives up a lot of games in the 1st set to players and then mows them down. She’ll even lose the set to good players but it makes no difference in the end. Serena is simply the best player that has ever played the game. I think her fitness has suffered since the birth of her child but she remains physically and technically dominant. Only players with comparable power have a chance to beat her. Niomi Osaka is certainly one of them. Serena does complain often about perceived injustices but so have a lot of players. However, she’s the only one I’ve ever seen threaten a linesman (“I stuff this ball down your f&*king throat!”) for calling a foot fault. Even McEnroe never went that far.
