Dewar Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Serena at her best blows both of them off the court. Now that she has won more grand slam singles titles than Graf, I would like to hear what your argument would be against Serena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Respectfully, I don’t like having sports bar arguments anymore . (I dislike them almost as much as listicles and oral histories.) Post removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Andre Agassi, there's probably no bigger fan of Steffi than me. And even I think Serena wins 95 out of 100 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Going back to that cartoon, the Herald Sun (a News Corp paper, surprise surprise) is doubling down on behalf of "Australia's finest cartoonist." (I was all set to make a Roger Langridge joke but he's from NZ.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yeah, that newspaper is notoriously fucked. Constantly racebaiting and dogwhistling over refugees. National embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm not a huge tennis fan but I figured I would share this. My daughter has a window washing job while she is a full-time college student. She texted me earlier and said she spent an hour cleaning the inside windows of a house while having a very pleasant conversation with the owner who also happened to be a famous tennis player. She sent me a picture of a plaque from the house and that person was Martina Navratilova. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I went last night. Took ages to get in. Unlucky not to win the first set, got creamed in the second, and probably lucky to win the third. Dominated RBA in the fourth far more than 7-6 alludes. Midway through the third he effectively gave up and just started swinging for anything, and the crowd carried him through. Was an amazing atmosphere. Annoyed to get a text midway through fourth set tiebreak advising cloak room was shutting at 11pm and I needed to collect my laptop bag. I think Tsitipatas could win the tournament.

Hail Sabin Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Halep drew Kanepi who knocked her out of the The US Open in the 1st round. She dropped the 1st Set and won a hard fought 2nd set but Kanepi couldn't keep pulling off the shots she did in the 1st 2 sets which lead to Halep winning the 3rd set 6-2.

Hail Sabin Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Halep had a even tougher match tonight where she lost the 2nd set in a tiebreaker to Kanin and was down 4-2 in the 3rd Set before making a huge comeback to win 6-4. Her reward Venus Williams in the next round. Serena vs. Bouchard will start in 25 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Collins vs. Kvitová and Osaka vs. Pliskova are you semi final matchups! Pliskova came back from 5-1 down in the 3rd set to win 7-5! Serena did seem to roll her ankle which helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Serena definitely rolled her ankle. It ruined her mobility, and took away her serve for the rest of the match. There was a reason her best chance to win a game after the injury was when she was returning serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Number One ranking on the line. Shame only one can win as I like both. Petra Kvitova coming back from getting attacked and stabbed in her tennis hand. Naomi Osaka and what happened to her at the US Open with Serena Williams. Think I'll be rooting for Kvitova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
