Do you honestly think Compton, CA is a lovely place?
She used to be a nice looking young woman, but later turned into a beefy “monster”.
I’ve never really been a fan, but she’s had much tougher competition that Court faced in her era. Losing her temper in a comment to a line judge or two over the decades does not make her a less great tennis player.
And yeah, she has had an advantage in size and strength over many competitors, but so have LeBron, Gronk, Giannis, Big Papi, etc.
Like the “media” kiddies like to say, “She was a credit to her race.”
It’s more than losing her temper with the line judges it’s also be a very sore loser and poor winner.
Goodbye to an ugly person, both physically and emotionally.
She’s a bully and a narcissist.
I’m happy to see her and her doubles partner (Venus) lose.
Now she can go to Hollywood and be with all the other gigantic egos.
Serena’s supposed to be a gentleman?
She should stick around long enough to play against the next up-and-coming “transgender woman” player, yes?
Many of the best athletes today are sore losers and poor winners. That’s not factored into fans’ assessments of how good they are as players. How good as human beings, perhaps; but not even really so much that at the pro level.
But if you’re smart, you can pull out early.
Like...what I’m thinking?...
She’s trash.
Kind of the Michelle Obama of Women's tennis.
She’s leaving? It’s about time. Won’t miss her for a moment.
I’ve watched one women’s tennis match in my life.
I was deathly ill and lying on my couch. Evert vs Navratilova came on the TV but I was so sick I couldn’t get up to change the channel.
It was hell.
Yea, the issue I have is that I dislike seeing Serena Williams ugly face plastered everywhere in the media. It offends me!
Maybe once it was a peaceful suburb, but I’ve heard that after the Watts riots in 1965 many middle-class residents moved away - Watts and Compton being adjacent to each other.
That’s when it all went pear-shaped: only four years later, one-time peaceful Compton had become a terrible crime hotspot, alas :-(
“I’m happy to see her and her doubles partner (Venus) lose.”
I thought I was going to get a case of contact diabetes from the sugar-on-steroids worship those two got from the commentators as they were getting their butts kicked by the Czechs.
Years and years of blasting testosterone and HGH into her body.
All-time tennis records – Women’s singles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_tennis_records_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_singles
Fewer titles than Margaret Court, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Billie Jean King, Steffi Graf, Evonne Goolagong, and Suzanne Lenglen.
We watched the last set of Serena’s last loss.
The fans in New York were an embarrassment to the city, state and nation. They screamed and cheered at Williams’ good shots but did not even touch their palms in a clap, or holler in approval, of ONE play that Tomjanovich made.
The post match interview was all about Serena and left the winner standing in front of her bench.
This was a rotten slight of the winner and all about the loser fading into oblivion. I am so glad to know that I won’t see the Williams sisters again.
SERENA WILLIAMS ENDS HER CAREER WITH A LOSS. End of story!
