Any chance someone has the video of Serena's semifinal match against Jie Zheng in Wimbledon 2008? I'd love highlights. It was such an awesome match too!
I guess I hit a nerve re Li Na. Congratulations to her. So how many Grand Slams are in her future? That's really my point. Can we agree that Li Na will be a one slam wonder? Okay she get to take the FO slam back to China. Moving on.
You guys are talking about a 2 year old march. Jie Zheng has done nothing. The little lady is going no where but back to China. Li Na days are also over. She had her chance against Clijsters at the AO and couldn't win the big one. That deflated her energy and Li Na is old. Back to China for her too.
@brougsa hey there. let's update:) Li Na just won the French Open! and by the way, she could match up with Serena recently and she has defeated Venus in their recent matches. hope a new perspective arises from you:)
Between Zheng and Li Na, I always though Zheng would turn out to be the better of the two but I was wrong. Li Na has proved to be the better, more mentally tough player and more consistent.
@lollipopdouche Yeah, because it takes no skill to win 13 grand slam titles, not counting doubles, mixed doubles and her olympic gold medals. Yup, she has no skill whatsoever
@lollipopdouche Her skill is the best in the world. Her serve is the best in the world. Her groundstrokes are as precise and powerful as anyone in the world. If you think that she is all power and not much skill then you have no idea what you are talking about. To be a pro/tour tennis player, you must have amazing skill. Every pro does, that is why they are professionals.
@lollipopdouche You know absolutely nothing about tennis to say she has no skill. Besides looking at her record, which is better than 98% of all women who have ever held a raquet, take a look at the topspin she uses at will, the precision of her winners, the angles she produces better than her baselining so clones on the wta of late. She is a phenom tennis player with more skill than most of the current top ten combined.
If Jie Zheng was taller and bigger, should could be #1 in the world. Her incredible movement, strong groundstrokes, and great court sense. Always a dangerous opponent... I love how all the Chinese players play, they crowd the baseline and compensate for their lack of size by taking the ball early and robbing their opponents of time
@DjhYde07 There are four ways you can win a point. You win a point if: 1) you hit a shot that lands "in" which your opponent cannot reach, called a winner, 2) you hit a serve that lands "in" which your opponent can't reach, called an "ace", 3) your opponent makes an "error", meaning that they are unable to renturn one of your shots back into play, or 4) your opponent fails to put one of two serves into play, called a "double fault".
such a monstress. lumpen and dull, can't lob, can't volley, can't slice, can't dropshot... displays caveMAN aggression and makes tennis dull to watch- no, not dull: horrid.
When Serena starts that sort of "accurate moving" like at 4:43 and 5:23, she usually wins the point, game, and match once in that gear. Got to love her!
according to the wta website, jheng and serena are practically the same weight. serena is 5-9 150 lbs, and jheng is 5-4 130 lbs. hmm I really dont think so. Serena is at least 170 lbs of pure sexy muscles. There is no way she is 150 pounds with all those muscles. Black women are not made to look aneorexic.
Serene didn't play good "first strike" tennis in this match. She didn't serve or return as well as she normally does. Especially considering how weak Zheng's serve is. And Serena's second serve "kick" wasn't effective at all against Zheng. To her credit Zheng wasn't intimidated by Williams' power. She stayed on or inside the baseline and constantly took the ball early like Hingis, which surprised Williams for most of this match. Serena's experience and mental toughness won this match.
you know how high balls in tennis are rather easier to hit? i think because zheng jie is so small, almost all of the balls that serena hits are high to her.
What is the most important attribute, in your opinion, for a Pro Tennis player must have: Power, Mental Strength, Tactic, Competition Experience, ....
@waterpower105 SKILL (mental tactics) would be a 1st attribute,2nd SPEED is very important(being able to get to the ball and executing a great shot), 3rd POWER muscling your opponents shot back, and 4th is PLACEMENT (executing a shot). But always remember your serve tells alot about your game okay im done rambling but i feel that is what you need to be a pro-player and succeed.
@waterpower105 I disagree, I think that it's better that zheng had a weaker serve than Serena, considering her serve isn't that great she can still do very well against serena. it looked like she just got really tired at the end
@mspeeps She does well playing against Serena cause she has strong mental strength. Between Zheng and Serena, who will get tired first? Asians can't match with African for their physical conditions. It is not because of the lack of training but their genes. Zheng worked so hard to get to the top20, yet Serena skyrocketed to the tops of the tops. It would be amazing to see Zheng reaches #1 but I doubt she secures that rank.
There is nothing interesting about Serena, or her game. Everything is completely one dimensional. Well.. she has a great server, I'll give her that. But I won't miss her when she's gone from the tour.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually shes not lucky, shes just super strong, the speed of her serve is faster than nadal's. she should be playing in the atp along with her sister.
take her strenght away from her and shes barely a top 50 player. justine is smaller, thinner but has super technique thats why i enjoy each time the gorrlias get pwned by small henin just as i enjoy federer's wins over nadal or anyone's wins over nadal
@89Pleasek... speaking on what your saying do you fault basketball players for being 7 feet tall... what about boxers for having toooo many muscles... or swimmers having limbs too long... everything yours typing in stupid... they are athletes... if your body type fits the sport your playing more than someone else, more power to you... and Serena's will to win, not her strengh, makes her a champion... as far as her serve is concerned um... she worked all her life on it thats y its superior!
so aren't you contradicting yourself? u are trying to say that serena, with her physique, can serve faster than nadal, who is one of the fittest, most muscular guy in the atp? serena's not just known for her brute strength. she has superior court coverage, the mentality and believe that she can win match on any given day. and that's beside having one of the strongest, most consistent serve. first or second serve, any given day. have a nice day.
i dont like neither of them. its just not normal that a female can produce a 130 m/hour serve. the wta should check their testosterone level, could be high
I love Serena and both of the top Chinese players Li Na & Jie Zheng. The Williams sisters are going have to watch out the Chinese players more than anybody else. They continuously get better and better.
they reached the semis of the australian open this year so nice to see..!they made history for their Country..!the only thing I don't like is CHINA in this case LOL..!

WOW i freakin love that forehand at 5:04 its just stunning and not to mention the cute little pose and come on after. serena is the ultimate tennis player right now. her sister eh...not so much lol
lol jie zheng's tennis techiques are at absolute pinnacle. Extremely impressed. Low knee bend, perfect preparation, smooth short backswing, smooth shoulder turn on both sides and excellent weight transfer on each and every single shot. Love her game.
