Congrats Serena!!

Congrats Serena!!

This woman and her sister, Venus, have been laughed at, bagged on, talked about and belittled, and still the move toward excellence with a quiet dignity. And in the end…they always win. So, steady hand clap for Serena.

Talk about overcoming obstacles and reaching for excellence.

Remember, Serena Williams is from the hood–Compton is the heart of Blackistan. This is a woman (with the help of a ball-busting dad) rose above the negative influences of her environment and became a successful sportsman and businesswoman. Now here she is, the comeback kid at Wimbledon and holding the new record for a woman over 30 winning her 5th title.

 

This woman and her sister, Venus, have been laughed at, bagged on, talked about and belittled, and still the move toward excellence with a quiet dignity. And in the end…they always win. So, steady hand clap for Serena.

 

 

Oh…and damn I bow down to that perfect arse!! J-Lo ain’t got nothing on her!!

I was so happy when she won! I was watching...in my living room!lol! I commented to my hubby that the commentators seem to mock her at times, especially when she's losing. But once she's on the winning end, they begin to champion her.  Anyone else ever get that feeling?  Anyway, you go  Serena!!!!!!

Never been a fan of her tennis style, but still- well done!

 KingsDaughter   What's the haps?:   I feel you on Serena's style, more power (think Alfred Puljos or Barry Bonds - baseball power-hitters then say, Chrissy Everett, you know, "pretty players") hitter than finesse style such as that of her sister, Venus.  Venus has a sinewy style better suited for clay - hard court.......stopping on a dime, switching volleys, near net volleys, back up back-handed play, etc.       Serena is straight-up, stone cold, sheer power...........not everybody's style.............my style though...............respect your thoughts on it though....respect!.

 DeepWater  Heh alright. I much prefer Venus' style. Also also to enjoy watching players like Steffi Graf. Serena reminds me of  other players like Arantxa Sanchez, Monica Seles etc I never enjoyed their bulldozer type of tennis. Then there are those like Sharapova who make me want to plug my ears because of their horrible grunting.

Seen plenty of "haters" on other sites.   My thing is this, if I was Serena, which I'm sure she is doing, I'd be laughin' and wavin' all the way to the bank with said win.......$1.78M dolloars...........That's one million, seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars.....$1,780,000.000.     Shooooooooooooooooot, I'm lucky if I got a $1.78 cents at any given time......................................bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

Not mad at all..........................BOW DOWN TO THE TALENT and the BOO-TAY!!!

$1,780,000.00, is what it should be, one less zero.  (Hey, how would I know?  I'm po' - bwwwwaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!)

I so love Serena! I have seen her win all 5 Wimbledon titles on TV and it never gets old! When I am exercising, I channel Serena and think to myself, I've got to do better, because she would. I just cried after she won, because it was so emotional.

 friendswmimi   Yes it was, dahlin'.   Yes it was.........She is a C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N!    The Best (thank you Althea Gibson)...................................as for women making $$$ in tennis - thank you Billie Jean King - and for that matter - Arthur Ashe.................A TOAST!

Arse, hell! Serena's got bo-dy!  If I had one wish from a genie, that would be to have a body just like hers.  She looks like she was engineered.  Check her out on the cover of Vogue magazine: http://www.fashionologie.com/Vogue-Olympic-Athletes-Cover-June-2012-23098707 and the 2009 body issue of ESPN's Body Mag: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/06/espns-body-issue-of-naked_n_311168.html.

Congratulation Serena from this US fan. He, Richard Williams is a perfect example of a positive role a father can make, even for black females (of course black males). By being there for his children, their coach, their No. 1 fan, proper guidance and leadership. Serena and Venus respresent our country (US), as some in the US disrepect them because, my guess is they would rather see ww doing so well, at the top. Both women have learned how to survive in a not so friendly and negative society, and toward bw. I am happy for Serena, Venus as well. Both are talented beautiful black women tennis player. I sure hope they do not settle (marry) for men who will not be good for them.

Congrats to her!!!  As I said in another forum, Venus and Serena won't get much respect until after they retire.  The Williams sisters have been more successful at Wimbledon since 2000 they have 10 singles titles between them(5 each) and also 5 doubles titles cuz they won again today.  I love these sistas!!!

After her injury, it seemed like she might not get back to this point. But she worked hard and it paid off in a huge way. :)

 

Congrats to her.
