Serena Williams: The Most Dominant Female Tennis Player Ever?

It says she called 911 at 6am because there was an intruder. It's still dark at 6am, and what kind of random drug tester shows up at 6am prowling around the grounds of a private mansion. Story seems likely to me.


That's the whole point on random isn't it?
 
Well apparently to the other guy it isn't random at all even though it was a random drug test, so I have no idea.

The players Are requirdd to report a timeperiod and place where they are available for testing. Whether a tester actually shows up or not, is the random part.
You would think that she would've given a sample after being told by the police who "the intruder" was, but it seems like she didn't

This isn't a just an issue with serena, but with all of tennis
 
nothing makes me feel better than knowing people still get mad after her c-walking all over the graves of her enemies in celebration of her victory




only a bad bitch
 
I'd honestly marry her.

Dat booty.

If you want to throw out any accusations about HGH or other performance enhancing substances and look solely at career records, by what measure is Serena the most dominant? She's 5th all time in career winning % so you're just disregarding 4 other women who were more dominant than her on winning % alone. Nobody seems to address this.
 
No, she's a doper. She once hid in her so-called panic room when someone rang at her door to collect a sample. You don't peak at age 31 in tennis. Right now, the sport seems to be where baseball was at in the late 1990s: "superhuman" performances galore and rewriting history.
 
How so?

Samantha Stosur is every bit as muscular as Serena, and a hell of a lot leaner.



Sure, when talking records the comparison is ridiculous. One's a legend and the other is just a good player. But this just goes to show that Serena's game isn't just all about power. There's a real intelligence in the way that she plays, and that's why she's so dominant.

Here muscles are nowhere near the size of Williams. Her muscles look like a womans, when that woman is in shape. She may also be on something, but it's not as obvious as Williams.

You can't build muscles the size of Williams without taking steroids as a female. It's biology. That simple. Her biceps are larger than guys who actively try and build muscle while taking tons of supplements. That is not natural for a woman.

If you work out, and are involved with any type of serious mass gaining. You understand what she has is not possible without the help of PEDS for a woman. Tennis also has a pretty much non-existant, horrible testing program. It's so obvious she is on something, that it blows me away people can't see it.

You can also see how much larger her muscles have become over the years.

You can also see, at one point, she was on HGH. Maybe just to rehab injuries. Man or woman, when you take HGH for an extended period of time, your stomach looks like this.

Worked out just as hard as Williams, but was caught on steroids bringing some of her hormone levels higher than a mans. Her arms are significantly smaller than the "natural" williams.
 
With Serena capturing her 16th grand slam today, the question comes up from me about how she would have fared against the other legends in the female game. Whether you look at Graff, Seles, Navratilova, King, etc. I don't think any of them would have an answer to Serena's athleticism and competitive will. When the money is on the line, Serena performs, and most times, she utterly dominates in finals where the outcome is rarely in question.

Depends on the racquet they're using. If they were both playing with modern tech, Serena would wipe the floor with them. With wooden racquets or some of the less advanced modern tennis racquets, I think the past greats would have the upper hand. The only exception to this is Seles, who I think had the athleticism to keep up with Serena.

Have you ever seen her in person?

Serena is not this huge monster in person these pics seem to suggest. When I saw her she was not that big to me but this was 3 weeks after a tournament. She is listed at 155 is that huge to you? I would not be surprised if some of it was just fat. Considering realistically a women can gain anywhere from edit: 5-12 pounds of muscle with a good regiment in 1 year I don't think Serena even comes close to looking like professional bodybuilders.

Look up pictures of Serena next to other tennis players she is not that much bigger then them. You are selecting these pictures of Serena by herself, she looks big but there is no comparison to gauge how big she really is, next to other players she looks maybe 5-7 pound heavier and probably .5-1 inch bigger on her arms shoulders.
 
Graf retired at 30 with over 300 more wins than Williams has now at 31. She could have stuck around a few more years to pad her numbers even more but what was the point after she accomplished everything.

And you are purposefully ignoring everything Serena went through, can you imagine were she would be today. Also maybe am wrong but Serenas race has to be one of the deciding factors in people choosing to not recognize her as a great athlete (and one of the best ever in her sport).

You're using in-action shots of Serena, of course her muscles look exaggerated there.

This is a candid picture of her posing for another photographer:

Also, Samantha's muscles are just as big:

Serena's muscles appear bigger because she maintains a pretty fatty diet:

Samantha's diet is obviously a lot leaner. She's built like a man compared to Serena. ALL muscle, no shape.

EDIT:

Also, Serena doesn't look nearly as big when you stand her next to other players:

Havent payed any attention in Women's tennis for awhile.

Her sister still play? They occasionally still do doubles together?
 
Lol at people hating on Serena's muscles.

comparing her to body builders? cmon GAF, she's not really that big.

and GAF worships still photo's too fuckin much, srsly.

Yeah no other player has ever had injuries.
I haven't disregarded her as a great player and I think she's top 5, but "most dominant"? I've already mentioned there are women ahead of her in both wins and winning percentage. If that's not "more dominant " than what is? The stats don't back her up.


Of women I've seen play at or near their prime Graf was #1 and Navratalova #2. Margaret Court and Chris Evert were a bit before my time so I can't comment other than their amazing records.

Forgot about Seles. She was like Nadal to Federer for Graf. Had she not been stabbed Seles was right there too.

Yeah I argued the same points.

I don't get these Serena is a beast comments when she is not much bigger compared to other players and Venus is actually heavier then Serena too. In person Serena is clearly an athlete she looks like somebody in shape but not this bodybuilder the photos make her out to be. She would be considered small muscular wise and too much fat compared to real female bodybuilder

Jesus this is a terrible and massively inaccurate post.

I also agree with an above poster who mentioned that her race being part of why some people attempt to undermine her actual abilities.
 
She's definitely on steroids. It's just like how everyone knows Lebron is on HGH but he's the face of the league so no one is going to do anything about it. Most athletes are on some sort of performance enhancing drug. Even in cycling. Cycling for god's sake.

I'm not going to throw any accusations around other than to say that it's likely a large percentage of pro tennis players are juiced, there is just too much money at stake and it's too easy to get away with for it not to be the case. The fact that many of these women look like they belong on the east German olympic team(hell a lot of them are bigger than the east Germans were back then) doesn't help suspicions at all.

All the comparisons to other pro athletes and especially to female bodybuilders actually hurt the argument more than they help, if like me you believe that most of the former and all of the latter are heavily enhanced.. Then you bring up listed weights as if they mean anything at all. Especially comparing Serena to Venus when Venus is 4 inches taller.

Cycling has always had widespread doping. I don't think you understand how doping works. It doesn't just give you huge muscles.
 
The problem is people are using it to diminish her accomplishments with ad homimem suggestions that the only reason she's winning is because her muscles and if we take that away she's nothing.

How about instead always having to cut down the dominate player we question why more female tennis players aren't copying her work out regiment?

It's never good enough that this person just works out and is very good at the sport making her the dominate player, no that's way too simple there has to be more to it. Clearly there has to be drug use or something. What proof is there of such? Other than the "herp derp she looks like it bro!" *yawn*



Bingo



That too

ha ha so true. But some people actually take courses on revising history and actual facts.

Those girls have been dominating since they were per-teens, They make women's tennis watchable. It used to be a bunch of posh rich kids that had everything handed to them and now when a real athlete steps on the scene people lose their minds.

Watch the Dementiva vs Serena semi finals match I can't remember what year may have been Wimbledon 2009. The whole crowd would roar for Dementieva every time she would core a point - and Serena was a point away from losing that game at about 3 different times and each time she beat her back and each time the crowd would shit themselves a little until Serena finally came back and won. Dementiva was actually one of the better ones too (better in the sense that she is actually a competitor; like seriously who gave Safina a tennis racket?).

Serena doesn't just beat them with power and Mad Skill(tm) she beats them with mental fortitude. I don't think that biased crowd even realized what they had witnessed besides feelings of their own massive disappointment lol.

The williams sisters are like Bane. They didn't know privilege until they were already fukin women and by then they were blinded by it.

The day the Williams sisters retire is the day women's tennis returns to handball status and don't say Graf won more titles in 1876, come with something new.

<insert Serena at the London Olympics double gold for USA c-walk.gif here> Sharapooova who?

Agree with every word.

I think the ultimate legacy the Williams Sisters will leave when they retire is making the Woman's game a LOT more athletic than it used to be.

And it still has a long way to go. Navatrilova rants about this every now and then: too many girls concerned with being pretty instead of working out and building the strength they need to play a big game.

only a bad bitch

I can't say I was mad, but I don't think it was appropriate given that she was representing the entire country in the Olympics

Even if you believe she and everybody else is on ped's the point was Serena is not a beast of a women that is an anomaly MooseKing is suggesting. Pro bodybuilders actually look like pro bodybuilders, Serena and other tennis players will never look like them.
 
The steroids claim is a nonstarter for me. Serena and Venus have always had muscular builds. It's not like they were once built like sticks then, overnight, did a Barry Bonds with muscles sitting on top of muscles everywhere.

I mean, she was muscular then she was HOLY SHIT muscular. And it came right after the fight with the injuries started. She probably took them to repair/heal and then stopped. I don't mind it though.

The real fact is that the women's tennis field has been suuuuuper weak the last three-ish years. All the come-ups have been duds, Henin retired (one of the few that could blast the ball right along with Serena), and the women players who can handle Serena physically just aren't there with the Tennis IQ.

The other day Mary Carillo said "its Serena, a little drop off, then sharapova, and then a rather large drop off, then the rest of the field." Or something similar to that. I agree. Its been like that for a while. Serena is great, but lets not forget she used to lose a bit in the early to mid 2000s when competition was stiffer.

Edit: Serena used to train with Andy, and said she couldnt return most of his serves. I don't think shed get past the third round. Sets are longer, her strength is the norm in the men's game, and the tennis IQ is generally higher than the women's game.

Well she is AN anomaly, just not the only one.

Of course tennis players are not going to look like pro bodybuilders, it is a completely different training goal, no athlete wants body fat that low, it simply isn't functional. But cyclists don't look like bodybuilders either, even though they are just as doped.
