Do the Williams sisters come to mind here? Granted they did prove they belonged by winning at the highest level, but had their Dad not been running around like a maniac with his cameras and signs and totally disrupting their development. Now they are basically has beens that people have little interest in. Serena still brings something to the table, but for the most part it's over for them.

Samm: Venus just set a record for speed of serve! Granted ..we haven't heard much from them recently,but both can still if motivated. Believe me..the bucks are still rollin in

Timm,

I know the bucks are still rolling....much more for Serena though....I'm just saying the Williams sisters did what they did in spite of themselves....speed of serve means little....Wie is longer off the tee than anyone....none of it matters when the potential isn't realized....and although the Williams sisters did a lot in a very short period, imo they were/are nowhere near what they could have been had they been sound between the ears....same with Wie....

There's a longer shelf life in golf than in tennis. To tell you the truth, with all the prima donnas in their teens, I didn't follow the women that much. All MW has to do is find a PRO coach and Pops may fade away....also possible that her management group might have a few suggestions,if ya know what I mean

24 posts in this thread and not a single picture of her!

Good God.....what madness. Hopefully you guys aren't actually talking about her golf game.


Here's a picture of her playing with one of Hickory Hill Hoff's shirts on.



Here's another picture of her with another one of "Triple H's" shirts on.



Here's what she looks like when shes not wearing shirts from Triple H's closet.



At least I hope he doesn't have that in his closet.

I'm pretty certain Serena won the last grand slam event played in Australia. That's hearing something I believe.

she did win the Australian, I'm not doubting her ability, I'm simply saying that the Williams sisters are another in a long line of "the next big thing" that failed to reach their full potential due largely in part to their handlers. Do they win...sure....do they win at the clip they could? No way.....tis all I'm saying.....
