Does anyone have more info on Pete Sampras' and the Williams Sisters relationship? Early in their careers, Venus and Serena always claimed that Pete was their idol, etc.
But then in the mid 2000s, I read that Pete replied to a comment (referencing Venus' service motion was similar to his)...he said it was an insult.
Ever since then you haven't heard WS claim Pete as their hero, though they have always said good things about him. But then again, I guess they became legends as well.
OMG! I thought it was just me and my mom who thought Men's tennis was WAAAAAAY more boring than the women's.... in the women's game you had attitude... sometimes you'd have drama. Nothing like female drama.
But AT THE TIME men's tennis was pretty boring to me.. ESPECIALLY compared to nowadays. I was SO glad to FINALLY get into men's tennis when Roger started being a big star and Nadal came into the game.
Then Maria Sharapova enters the tennis world & the people & media all looked in awe & disbelief to see a stunningly beautiful, tall, lean, slim, blond woman who could play tennis. Definitely, "Midleground" won't be calling her a gorilla.
Love her!. She´s my favorite tennis player. When she loses in a tournament or grand slam here I am upset the whole day. Also happens with Venus. I just love you both on the court. You go girls. There´re lots of people out there that love you both. God Bless you!
@djalternegro i have the same arguement. I saw John McEnroe playing doubles at Wimbledon on an outside court, he was real, real nasty to a linesman. It was bullying. He is a hero. Jimmy Connors, Pat Cash, Andre Agassi, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Virginia Wade, Boris Becker all had incidents on court.
She great here. She is so confident and she has done everything she set out to do. How can u not admire her. She is talkin bout Billie Jean King and now she i tied with her in grand slams. I think everyone needs to ignore the racist twats on here
, who obviously know nothing about tennis therefore have nothing intelligent to say. I also think the people posting these videos need to be more diligent in deleting their stupid comments. GO SERENA!!!
"you have venus and me and umm......alot of other players out there" to me that sound like she was saying you have two of us who are great and the average bunch lol luv this serena
It's sick how racist white people are... exactly why I don't like them sick minded evil devils, something isn't right with them species... anyway, it's amazing how she went onto win the U.S open two months later! Love you Serena!
I watched this interview many many times, I couldn't get enouth of it. Beautiful, brilliant and humble girl just to say the least. Great inspiration and role model for ppl like my daughter.
A nice look back at a great tennis player. She certainly seems like a nice girl off the court. Lol "I have only nice things to say". Fast foward 10 years to US Open semifinal vs Kim Clijsters. Poor lines person :o
Google 'skinny serena williams' She used to be thin but gained weight around the time the sisters took a break from tennis, and their other sister died. She's since gained weight, but she used to be much skinnier.
A few weeks latter in that year of 1999, the first week in September Serena won her first grand slam the US Open. She's all bright eyes in this interview.
I know right.. she has this angelic little girl quality here no attitude at all just well spoken and so cute!! "It's very exciting to watch us ladies."
This girl (including her sisters) are LEGENDS. They are the best thing to EVER hit the WTA...everyone else is burning out while these girls pursue other interest and STILL win grand slams. What can I say..the girs are BAD!!!! Much love to Venus, Serena and the Williams family. Proud of ya'll for representing not only America, but definately your African American brothas and sistas on the court.
@Blakmajik78 I think venus had finally burn out a little. her performance in grand slam stage this year is disappointing. hope she finds her way back. but serena is just supreme.
@susceotible Yeah venus is a little inconsistent...but when she is on she does play very good tennis especially at Wimbledon. I can see her winning about 3 more slams b4 she leaves...at least I hope..most of them will probably be Wimbledon...but I do still see Venus winning another slam.
she is not hot, she is a big black man. and she sucks, horrible human being. good tennis player though...but should be on the men's circuit

It's so incredible to see Serena with those hair beads, she's lovely.
I don't think she would have imagined even in her wildest dreams winning 20 grand slams (10 S, 8D, 2 M) ten years later, what a REMARKABLE CHAMPION.
