Tennis would fucking suck if idiots were chanting during rallies etc.
The silences helps build the tennis and makes the cheers at the end of a long rally much more pleasing.

I also like hearing sounds because it provides information about the shots (power, spin). Of course, it's impossible when the player is a shrieker (eg. Sharapova :/).
 
Thing I don't quite get is Serena is older than a lot of them on tour. Impressive to still have that competitive advantage when she is on her game so well done to her. Maria's problem has been her surgery but she's been getting better so it's kind of a setback but she'll be back I hope.
 
scary to think what this Lithuania team would do to the 1992 Dream Team. they'd probably blow them out of the building with their speed and athleticism.
 
I do. Maria is one of my favorite players. She needs this to get better.

Didn't help after Madrid. Why would it help now? lol

I feel like its a mental thing. We know Maria is capable, she plays very well. It's just like... she CAN't play Serena. She sees her on the other side and PANIC MODE ON. If you watch games like the one in Roland Garros against Razzano, which Serena lost, you feel like she is clearly not unbeatable. But then again, Serena just HATES Sharapova from the bottom of her heart for that Winbledom final. She won't let it go. Ever.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the women's final...
 
This must be the post-Nigeria blahs. If the USA loses, all blame will be on LeBron. Skip Bayless will never stop yelling.

Serena played against much better opponents like Davenport, Hingis, healthy Clijsters, Henin, and Venus when she was younger. These newer players frankly suck compared to them.
 
She doesn't deserve a medal of any color, on the back of that performance, if you ask me.

Well, she made the road to the finals so she deserves silver, I do not how was her performance in previous games but she went to the final and the right to have silver medal by defaul.

Obviously she did not deserve gold , I am happy for Serena althought I like more Sarap. style.
