DaRealMVP Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 48 minutes ago, button said: The distinction is really weird to me... when I was young she seemed just as huge as Serena, she was for me one of the iconic screaming female tennis players and I saw her everywhere. I don't see why she wouldn't be famous in the US nowadays. I haven't followed tennis for quite some years, do you mean Venus didn't keep up career-wise? As in Serena is still winning tournaments and grand slams while Venus isn't? Sure, that would make Serena a lot more relevant and it gives her a wider, more recent audience but Venus is certainly famous in the US. I mean if she isn't in her homeland, where would she be? She might have had her peak but time can't take away her fame like that. But if Venus hasn't been doing well in the last few years, I understand the distinction you're making about their career size. I guess I'm just a few years late in the tennis world. Well, yes. Quite a lot has happened in the last few years. Venus discovered she has a auto-imune disease, which I can't speak the name, and since 2009 her career has plummeted. Her last Grand Slam win was Wimbledon 2008, quite a long time. As for Serena, well, she's up to 22 Grand Slam titles, her last being Wimbledon this year (Venus has 7). She just tied Steffi Graf for most GS titles in the Open Era, as you must know. But I get your point. Of course someone like her would be famous. She is everywhere really. That was a stupid remark. Link to comment

Poor baby girl I used to check the atp and Wta rankings all the time... I became disinterested over time I guess. Jankovic, Ivanovic, Safina... what are all the tennis girls up to? I was a kid when Hingis and Henin retired. I'm an outdated flop. The last major thing I can remember is Sharapova winning US open against Serena. Link to comment

PEOPLE just remember Baby one more time, oops, slave and toxic. BRITNEY Needs a new anthem! video, and dance breakdown to regain an iconic moment again People loved TTWE back in its release, which is why she still performs it to this day. Fans weren't too hot on it, but the GP ate it up and made it her biggest radio hit ever (until IWG came and surpassed it). TTWE is personally my favorite and I know it has pretty huge impact.

naturalplayboy Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Still don't like any of the Williams sisters. With all the money they make, their cheap ***** can't tip the people who serve them. Tacky and classless. Link to comment

That was in 2004 OMG you have a lot to catch up with. Sharapova since then won 2006 US Open, 2008 Australian Open, 2012/2014 Roland Garros. Well, jankovic and ivanovic are done and dusted and safina has retired with back problems. Serena has been #1 since 2012. She lost it this year to Kerber. She hasn't been playing much and missed all the season end tournaments. Link to comment

When I said Sharapova won US open, I was definitely talking about 2006 but forgot it was against Henin, not Serena! I never noticed my interest in tennis was so shortlived. 2005-2007 Link to comment

But my dad used to drive them. I don't remember the exact story but I can ask him. Apparently it was a long day and they couldn't even give a dime. Link to comment
Slave4Brit88 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Flawless stan Serena http://www.sbnation.com/tennis/2011/8/16/2367346/serena-williams-britney-spears-lucky I also remember reading Serena saying something like Britney had done in the music world what she did in tennis, come from nothing to become the best and that she really respected Britney for the fact she did it on her own, whereas Serena always had her sister. I think it was from pretty long ago, maybe early in her career so I can't find it now but I definitely remember reading it and thinking it was really nice. My fave is also Maria, I wish she would stan Britney, I remember she stanned the Spice Girls in an interview lol Link to comment
