[EagleOneoOne]

If Serena Williams isn't in this game, when why was it even made at all? That's like trying to make an NBA game without Dwayne Wade!

@Fargo21 thats what i said about you earlier is an objective truth...you cry over nothing...so the only thing you can do is get over it...i can cry to because they didn't include Justine Henin and Jo Wilfried Tsonga, but i don't do that...plus there's already Venus in game and their play styles are similar so i can't even see a problem...want Serena that much ? try to create her in world tour...

[Summon256]

@Fargo21 i wasn't trying to act smartass, i was just stating my opinion...why it is bad having an opinion that differs from yours ? ...i never said you should all have the same though as me...

[Fargo21]

@Summon256 well i wouldn't say nothing to you if you wouldn't have tried to be a smart ass! to my comment

[Summon256]

[Fargo21]
