Did you see the picture of her on the NYTimes website? Not saying she is using steroids....but....well.....somebody should post the photo.....at the very least, she has been hitting the weights.....
To: jazzo
It was a major smack down!
Was rooting (sp?) for Serena all the way.

I have to say I don't care for Sharapova playing for Russia while growing up and living here getting all the benefits she couldn't get there.

Did she break Babe Ruth's record tonight?
To: There You Go Again
For a woman who has been out of it for as long as she has and the injuries and the weight gain...she mopped the floor tonight.

I saw the match live on ESPN2 and was amazed that Serena Williams played like Roger Federer in flattening the opposition. That was the most dominating performance I've seen in a tennis match in years.

That's not who we want pictures of.

Yeah all the Russians do that. They move to Florida around the age of 12 to take advantage of year round training.

Game, set, match Sharapova.

That picture makes one wonder if she isn't the modern-day Renee Richards.

Here's a look at what the 25-year-old American accomplished in winning the year's first Grand Slam: 1 This was her first WTA Tour title -- and first appearance in a tournament final -- since she won the Australian Open in 2005.
2 The second player, joining Chris O'Neil in 1978, to win the Australian Open as an unseeded player.
3 Consecutive years the No. 1 seed has failed to win the Australian Open.
6 The number of seeded players Williams beat en route to winning the Australian Open: No. 27 Mara Santangelo; No. 5 Nadia Petrova; No. 11 Jelena Jankovic; No. 16 Shahar Peer; No. 10 Nicole Vaidisova; and No. 1 Maria Sharapova.

Now that she has done it all in tennis, she should conquer the NFL next year.
