The American's power and athleticism [?!] ... The Williams sisters either are examples of "athletic power" or better living through chemistry. Injuries with long healing times coupled with constant new injuries seems to point to the chemistry ...
Anyone who's seen the development of the Williams sisters from their early teens onwards knows how insane an accusation of "chemistry" as the font of their success is. Their respective physiques didn't exactly just appear one day.
Tennis is a tough sport, everyone gets injuries in it, and powerfully explosive athletes tend to get injured more than most--- that's the nature of powerfully explosive movement.
That Serena in particular is doing better this year than last is utterly understandable. She was injured much of last year--- it happens--- and her freaking sister was murdered. That last will tend to take your mind of things off the less important things in your life, like tennis, I think.

Both Williams sisters
skipped the junior tour. [!] That's why
their general skills
are so terrible.
They went from park/club play to
banging at the top
of the women's tour.
In practical terms, they did
"just appear one day."
(Certainly there's been
more bulking up since then but
from start to present
everything I see
about the Williams sisters
screams out, chemistry.)
