as for the shoulder, the us open is the only one of the four major tournaments where the balls are thrown the length of the court. the aussie, french, and wimbledon all roll the balls. it's tough throwing a weightless object about 100-120 feet depending on the court. |
indeed
appreciate the us open ball boys.
especially those who fall on their asses in front of the camera on primetime. :D kidding.
but my top 4 order is : us open, wimbledon, austrailian, french.
not a big fan of the clay courts myself. |

Good for you. Obviously you're not a tennis fan, just the average dumb American television viewer. |

Whether you are a tennis fan or not, you can see that they look like really burly women..aka men. :) |

why must people always compare them to men? they aren't the prettiest of women but they are women. serena is definitely jacked but venus is not and has never been that visually muscular. also all the women on the tour are professional athletes and they are strong and no matter how slim they appear those girls are strong...because if they weren't they wouldn't be where they are.
i wish people would just stop talking about how the williams sisters look and focus on their ability. they are the best thing to happen to women's tennis and i can say with certainty if they are playing their game nobody in the world can beat them.
also with the exception of maria and elena being prettier and dressing better they are all ogre-eses to me and have the same body type...
sharapova
dementieva
venus

lol honestly, you can't get away from it. I don't think that it distracts from their talent to tennis fans in general, but you can't make a big deal about people seeing it. |

most conversations i've had about tennis which then end up talking about the williams sisters almost always get dominated by their looks which don't matter in the grand scheme of things. anyhow to move away from that.
ANYWAY
Safin tried to pull an upset and the best he could do was take Federer to a tie-break in the second and lose 3 - 7 :(...damn ESPN2 for not showing this match :whip: now it's on to Nadal :) |

Them williams sisters would give ya some wrestle im telling ya!!
I would tackle the both of them, all wrong with their looks, well put together those 2.
If they farted in your face though you would probably never get up.
We just watched them playing the doubles there now, and my friend who has a bit of a thing for them is lying over there with his tongue hanging out. |

| The Williams sisters as doubles are a force to reckon with. |

Safin smashed his racket in the third set which gave me a good lol.
lulz then ensued when he used said racket for a point :wtf: |
