I'm going to have to disagree with that. Serena is a powerful tennis player...for a woman. But the difference between professional male and female athletes is huge. Men have a large advantage in speed, strength, agility, endurance. Put it to you this way. Serena has lost to Maria Sharapova on numerous occasions. Sharapova is 6'2" and 130 lbs. Could Sharapova beat the men?

A focused Serena is one special player

By Bonnie D. Ford
ESPN.com

MELBOURNE, Australia -- An infernal heat wave broke here Saturday, enabling Serena Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=394) to contest the Australian Open championship with the roof open at Rod Laver Arena for the first time in her four appearances in the final. Unfortunately for her opponent, that only made it more obvious that a nighttime match was ending with plenty of daylight left in the sky.

It's also evident that Williams' sun is approaching its zenith again. Her 10th Grand Slam victory, a bloodless 59-minute, 6-0, 6-3 evisceration of Russia's Dinara Safina (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=246), also marks the first time since the Serena Slam era of 2002-03 that she has won back-to-back majors. Williams also ascended to No. 1 again, a position she held briefly last year for the first time since her halcyon days, and won the doubles title with sister Venus for a Serena Sweep.

"I wanted to get to 10," Serena said of her milestone, an accomplishment she shares with only four other women in the 41 years of the Open era. "You never know what happens in life. I feel like, you know, opportunities sometimes don't present themselves twice."

Williams dominated every facet of the match. But her real secret in being able to win this often-fickle Slam so often -- hopscotching to the title every other year since 2003 -- is that she shows up mentally ready to compete even if she isn't always executing perfectly.

"That's why Andre [Agassi] was so successful here," said ESPN analyst Chris Fowler. "People have accused Serena of not being focused. Four Australian Opens is a pretty good refutation of that. It suits some players. Is anyone else better prepared to play championship-level tennis at this point in the season?"

Safina shanked three double faults in her first service game to give Williams the early break, which is the equivalent of letting Secretariat start four furlongs ahead of the field in the Belmont. Williams is the ultimate front-runner here. She's now 35-0 in this tournament when she wins the first set. The last time she was defeated with a 1-0 set lead in Grand Slam play of any kind was in the 2004 U.S. Open.

But it wasn't all about what Safina did wrong, even though she apologized to the crowd afterward, her breath ragged and her eyes red-rimmed. Williams walked up to the service line time after time like a seasoned trial lawyer about to begin closing arguments, composed, self-assured and without need to refer to notes. On Safina's second serves, she stepped inside the baseline and pounced mercilessly.

"Normally my serve is my weapon," Safina said. "So playing without all my weapons, it's tough against her … I wouldn't say that I was negative on the court, nothing. I was trying to stay positive and I was trying to do something. Just didn't have enough time to do it. It was too fast."

Williams won a staggering 95 percent of her first serve points and made only seven unforced errors to Safina's 21. The impact of her racket on forehand winners made it sound as if she were hitting a medicine ball.

Safina did manage to break Williams in the first game of the second set, but Williams returned the favor and then held at love, swatting a forehand cross-court winner from a full crouch on game point. A few points later, the crowd, silent for long stretches as if embarrassed for Safina, cheered a Williams error; Safina wheeled around with an irritated expression, clearly not interested in being the object of pity.

During the postmatch ceremony, Safina watched longingly as Williams casually stuffed her prize check into the trophy and closed the lid. The WTA's new No. 2 will have to steady her nerves, her ball toss and her self-belief in order to have a chance at that cookie jar.

"It was out of her hands," said ESPN analyst and two-time Australian Open finalist Mary Joe Fernandez. "Serena at her best is better than anyone else. The only thing Safina could have done was serve better."

As Fernandez noted, several of the top women in the game seem to be engaged in intermittent war with their own serves as much as they're fighting their rivals, and that bodes poorly for the distaff division of the game. The past three women's finals in Melbourne have been one-sided affairs won at the service line by the woman who seized the day and the advantage simply by putting the key in the ignition.

Safina has been thrashed in both of her first two Grand Slam finals, and like Ana Ivanovic (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=200) before her, it raises the question of when she's going to be ready for her close-up. The Russian said she slept fine the night before and attributed her nerves to the fact that she was playing not only for a title but for the honor of being No. 1.

In contrast, Williams is far more interested in winning majors than maintaining the top ranking. If it comes, it comes, but as has been her approach for the past few years, she won't gear her schedule around trying to stay there.

But commentator Jim Courier said it's long past time to question the way the Williamses construct their schedule.

"She and her sister are very special athletes and special people," he said. "All these years we criticized them for not being committed to playing week in and week out, but maybe in hindsight we should thank them, because they're still around."

Williams sisters advance to final

Associated Press
Thursday, July 2, 2009

WIMBLEDON, England -- Venus (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=403) and Serena Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=394) won in contrasting fashion Thursday to set up their fourth all-sister Wimbledon final and eighth meeting in a Grand Slam title match.

Two-time champion Serena saved a match point and overcame Elena Dementieva (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=377) 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6 in 2 hours, 49 minutes -- the longest women's semifinal at Wimbledon in at least 40 years. Five-time winner Venus, meanwhile, needed only 51 minutes to demolish Dinara Safina (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=246) 6-1, 6-0 and reach her eighth Wimbledon final.

"Oh, my God, this is my eighth final, and it's a dream come to true to be here again and have the opportunity to hold the plate up," Venus said.

The sisters -- with 17 Grand Slam titles between them -- will face each other Saturday in a Fourth of July final.

"A fourth final -- it's so exciting. It was so hard before my match to watch all that drama," Venus said, referring to Serena's semifinal. "It was so difficult. But the hardest part is next to come, to play Serena Williams."

One Williams or the other has won seven of the past nine championships at the All England Club. Serena beat Venus in the 2002 and '03 finals, and Venus came out on top against her younger sister last year.

"All I know is a Williams is going to win," said the sisters' father, Richard.

Venus is bidding to become the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1991-93 to win Wimbledon three years in a row.

There have been seven previous all-Williams championship matches at majors, with Serena holding a 5-2 lead. Overall, the sisters are 10-10.

"The more we play, the better it gets," Serena said. "When we play our match on Saturday, you know, it's for everything. This is what we dreamed of when we were growing up in Compton 20-something years ago. This is what we worked for, and this is what we want. Like I wanted her to win today and she wanted me to win today. It's all come down to this."

Venus said she was rooting for Serena to win Thursday but will now do all she can to stop her sister and win her eighth major title.

"I'm happy for her to be in the final, but I have to face her and defeat her," Venus said. "I don't necessarily want her to lose, but for sure I want me to win. I don't want to see myself disappointed. I need to get my titles, too. I'm still the big sister, but I'm still going to play great tennis."

The difference in the two semifinals couldn't have been more striking.

The Serena-Dementieva match was the longest women's Wimbledon semifinal by time since 1969; records are incomplete before then. Venus' win was the most one-sided women's semifinal since Billie Jean King beat Rosie Casals by the same score in 1969. The last time a semifinal ended 6-0, 6-0 was in 1925.

After Serena's tense, drama-filled escape against Dementieva, Venus barely broke a sweat against Safina. The Russian is ranked and seeded No. 1 despite never having won a Grand Slam tournament. Safina won only 20 points and was completely outclassed by the third-seeded Venus, who has been playing some of her best grass-court tennis at this tournament.

"She's just too good on grass," Safina said. "It's not my favorite surface, and it's her favorite surface. I think she gave me a pretty good lesson today."

One remarkable statistic summed it up: Venus was credited with just one unforced error in the match. She had 16 winners, while Safina had 16 unforced errors and six winners.

"I don't know if there's such a thing as perfect for an athlete, but I felt happy with it," Venus said. "And I felt like my performance has been building each round better and better. ... I think the score just showed my level of play. I was just dictating on every point."

Serena, meanwhile, was pushed to the limit by the fourth-seeded Dementieva but raised her game when needed.

"It's definitely one of my more dramatic victories, for sure," Serena said.

Dementieva, who has never won a Grand Slam title, played one of the best matches of her career and nearly eliminated a player who has won 10 majors.

After Dementieva sailed a backhand wide to end the match, Serena threw her head back, pumped her arms and hopped up and down.

"Elena played so well, and we gave the crowd a wonderful match," Serena said. "It was really, really tough."

In the 10th game of the final set, Serena faced match point on her serve with Dementieva ahead 5-4. Serena chose to attack, coming forward and hitting a backhand volley that skipped off the net cord and into the open court for a winner.

"I thought ace," Serena said. "It's my serve, if I can just stay calm. I was just trying to think positive."

Dementieva said: "The only regret I have, maybe I should take a little bit more risk on match point, should go down the line."

It was Serena's eighth straight win in a Grand Slam semifinal going back to the 2003 French Open. She is 14-2 overall in Grand Slam semifinals.

It was almost too much to handle for father Richard, who watched with other family members and friends in the guest box.

"Serena nearly gave me a heart attack," he said. "Venus played as if she had someplace to go and she was in a major league hurry to get a great dinner."

Serena served 20 aces -- the most for a woman at Wimbledon since 2000 -- and had 45 winners and 28 unforced errors. Dementieva produced 27 winners, 26 errors and eight double-faults.

"That was the best match we ever played against each other," Dementieva said. "It was a real fight from the beginning until the end. I feel like I finally played some good tennis here. It was not easy to fight against her. She's a great champion. She was serving very well today. I wasn't sure if it's Serena or Andy Roddick (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=436) on the other side."

The men's semifinals are Friday, with two-time finalist Roddick playing Andy Murray (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=235) and five-time champion Roger Federer (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=425) facing Germany's Tommy Haas (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=438). Federer is closing in on a record 15th Grand Slam championship, while Murray is seeking to become the first British men's winner in 73 years.

Looking up Down Under: Serena tops Henin for crown

By JOHN PYE, AP Sports Writer
01/30/2010

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Serena Williams (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/134/;_ylt=AsoqN95cT_bYqNnu.6R06Hsgv7YF) loves a good underdog story and understood that most of the crowd was behind Justine Henin (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/4218/;_ylt=AoJD81oN1.GN0SGaLt.vOwwgv7YF).

All that sentiment was put aside once she heard an insult from the stands, a crack that went right to the heart of all athletes. Williams surged to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory in the Australian Open final Saturday, closing this chapter on Henin’s remarkable comeback from retirement.

“I think everyone was for Justine tonight,” Williams said. “But you know what really helped me out? This one guy was like, ‘You can beat her Justine, she’s not that good.’

“I looked at that guy and I was like, you don’t know me,” Williams added, wagging her finger. “I think I won all the games after that because that’s totally rude.”

Williams plopped on her back at Rod Laver Arena after capturing her fifth Australian Open title, breaking her sequence of victories in this major in each odd-numbered year since 2003. It also gave her more Australian titles than any woman in the Open era and allowed her to match Billie Jean King’s career total of 12 majors in singles.

Henin, in her first Grand Slam and only second tournament since she quit suddenly in May 2008, had gone on a stunning run to win 20 of 22 points to even the final at one set apiece and take a lead in the third.

With her right thigh and left knee heavily taped and hampered by a litany of aches and pains, Williams had her backers in the crowd, sister Venus among them.

But the knocks gave her the most motivation.

“That is a part of being me. Like hearing things like that that inspires me to work harder, do better,” Williams said. “I feel like I have things to prove.”

Henin, unranked, fell one win short of emulating fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/49/;_ylt=Ap9YSlinmky9yLSVuanj6acgv7YF)’ amazing Grand Slam comeback at the U.S. Open last September. Clijsters beat Williams in the semifinals before taking the title at Flushing Meadows in only her third tournament back from two years in retirement.

“It’s been a very emotional two weeks for me,” said Henin, a 27-year-old, seven-time Grand Slam singles winner. “I thought it would never happen again. It’s been almost perfect. Just the last step, I couldn’t make it.”

Henin slipped to 8-6 in her head-to-heads with Williams. But this was the first time they’d met in the Grand Slam final. In the even-numbered years between Serena’s triumphs in Australia, Henin won the 2004 title, had to quit during the 2006 final against Amelie Mauresmo (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/166/;_ylt=Ak0IE7lUUr6IivAe7jY6vtMgv7YF) and lost in the 2008 quarterfinals to eventual champion Maria Sharapova (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/403/;_ylt=Ao.GcfaLu0y2rB3RAtluBLogv7YF). That was her last major.

Serena has now won three majors in 12 months, including Wimbledon and the Australian in 2009. Her conversion rate in Grand Slam finals is 12 of 15, second only to Margaret Court.

Serena teamed with Venus to successfully defend their Australian Open doubles title Friday, their 11th Grand Slam doubles championship, and planned some family celebrations Saturday night.

Another set of American siblings won the men’s doubles. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/233/;_ylt=AifIlAv_jeQZ8jO0h7I1ozogv7YF) combined for their fourth Australian Open title, a 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 win over Daniel Nestor (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/120/;_ylt=AkEMY_atYQCpvJbKP0iaOcUgv7YF) of Canada and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/326/;_ylt=ApsDCADiZJ9jZygZyULrFrQgv7YF).

Roger Federer (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/42/;_ylt=AsqRcyW5k6UAZsB_N5K8C8sgv7YF) and Andy Murray (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/1304/;_ylt=Anbdt6Z4lYlc27V0LYSU0Uggv7YF) were to play for the men’s championship Sunday night. Murray is hoping to end a 74-year drought for British men at the majors. Federer, who has the record at 15 career majors, cracked that he thought the drought had lasted 150,000 years.

Still the 22-year-old Scot has already achieved something no British man has done in the Open era just by reaching two Grand Slam finals. His first ended in a straight-sets loss to Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open. Murray is more confident this time.

“I just feel physically more mature, mentally more mature,” Murray said. “Just a lot more experience in these sort of situations now.”

He’ll need every bit of that.

Federer is playing in his 22nd Grand Slam final and has won three of the four he’s reached at Melbourne Park.

Murray conceded that Federer is “probably the best tennis player ever.” But he wasn’t indestructible, as shown by Rafael Nadal (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/599/;_ylt=AkkAYkV9YXuKy.8AKrEK06Qgv7YF)’s five-set win in the last Australian Open final and Juan Martin del Potro (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/3828/;_ylt=AsmM6ZwJy0Mvuub57HbZEwQgv7YF)’s victory at the U.S. Open last September.

“If I play my best, I think I’ve got a good chance against anyone,” Murray said.

Williams said she’d tried matching Federer’s numbers in the majors, but it became too hard because the target keeps moving.

She was happy to join King in sixth place on the career list of women’s major champions, and doubts she’ll get to Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/214/;_ylt=Ajcqbn5bPYyj5F6iHbq5j.ggv7YF), who have 18 majors each.

King was at the stadium Saturday to take part in a ceremony honoring the 40-year anniversary of Margaret Court’s season Grand Slam in 1970.
“Billie, we are tied,” Williams said. “So I’ve reached my goal.”

Williams said she’d like to get to 13 by winning at the French Open because her one title in Paris is the only one without a “twin.”

In the meantime, she’s trying to focus on the other achievements of King, who has been active in equal rights for women in sports and all walks of life.

“To tie Billie Jean King is cool. But honestly, my whole thing is to do what she did off the court,” Williams said. “When I think of Billie Jean King, I don’t even think about tennis. I think about all the amazing things that she’s done. And that’s what I want to do, with every aspect of my life.”
King is complimentary about Williams and her impact on women’s sports. She points to the 28-year-old player’s greater maturity, mindful of Williams’ U.S. Open tirade that cost her a record fine of $82,500.

Since then, Williams has set up a charity to raise money for her school in Africa, with contributions to the Haiti relief fund and elsewhere.

“At the end of the day, I’ve moved on,” Williams said. “One moment doesn’t make one person’s career. It’s all about the moments that you put together. For the most part, that’s it.”

Venus never looked like a body builder. She has a very different body type than Serena. Venus has the look of a middle distance runner, tall and lean. Serena has the look of a 100 meter sprinter, very heavily muscled in the legs, arms, and glutes. Venus is actually 4 inches taller but Serena probably outweighs Venus by at least 30 lbs. Is/was Serena on steroids. I have no idea. But steroids don't give women big boobs. Serena had gained quite a bit of weight lately and most of that is just fat. She has two half sisters in their 40s and they are huge! Sadly once Serena retires and gets into her late 30's-early 40's I think she's going to blow up to like 280 lbs.

I'd agree with the odd body thing. I'll have to see if I can find pics. I guess it's a question of who am I gona believe, me or my lying eyes? Actually me or my lying memory? Lol. Wouldn't be the 1st time my memory has failed me. The other day i was gona mention, for whatever reason, that Bonds won 2 or 3 gold gloves in the early 2000s. I go to wikipedia and his last was like 1998 :p
