OMG - last night while watching Serena's match - if I could put my hands through the tv I would tape her mouth shut. OMG the woman was so damn annoying and I was praying she would STFU. She had nothing constructive to say whatsoever. I have to compliment Lindsey she has really grown into a decent commentator. Pleas tell me that Stubbs was not call the Woz match today.

Then she had the nerve to claim that even though Serena is great she does not have shots like Ana....I fell off my bed laughing. And at the end when she saw that Serena was kicking Ana's butt then she had the nerve to say that Serena had to fight hard for the win.....I am telling you these folks are something else. And yes she is very unprofessional.

most of it is professional jealousy...since Serena got to number 18,these jealous folk are coming out the woodwork.The Russian and Dementieva,then Myskina said something to support that russian man...now this.If Ana is so good how come it took her six years to get back into top ten.Talent is not enough....h2h8-1..:laydownlaughing

I've never seen such jealousy. Were people like this when Chrissy, Graff, Martina and Seles were winning everything too. This is truly unreal - they so want Serena to get out of tennis that it is always reveal in their hidden comments. I mean even one poster here in a thread claims that Serena was an underachiver because she should have been at #1 longer. Can you believe that..after all this woman has achieve it's still not enough for these folks.

even WTA doesnt want her to win YEC...they are using scheduling .Serena has made a lot of money these past three years and that can make a lot of players green with envy.I think the no.1 ranking is not that important,she can claim it next year starting with Australia.Stubbs used to be friends with the sisters when everyone hated them.I am really surprised by her behavior...anyway I hope she shuts down for the season..no exhos just regroup for next year.

If you are going to cite me, at least do so directly courageously. I was the one who
said she should have been #1 for a longer period. However, you are twisting my words.
I never said she is "underachiever" in comparison to others. I said that IMHO, she
probably achieved less in comparison to what she probably could have achieved
given her talent level. So, please do not take a particular phrase and project it
out of context.

I knew someone said it but I really do not keep people's handles in mind so I had no idea it was you and that is why I said someone.

I am not so much concerned that you left out my handle. I am concerned that you are
picking some words ("underachiever") totally out of context. For the benefit of the rest,
I am citing the whole context below.

Leads me to think, if she were serious she could have spent 5 years there easily.

of course, Serena.

Shaking my head....some people. The point is she has 18 slams and she has been #1 for over 209 weeks.....so put that in your pipe and smoke it.Puzzled

Sure, whatever she has already achieved is definitely great.

However, I am not talking about her in comparison to other players. I am talking about
her in comparison to her potential. It is my contention that she did not fully capitalize on
her potential.

You have to understand that what I am talking about is different. It is possible for
a player to fully take advantage of their talent and yet not to win a single grand slam.

^^ GSM,
To the naked eye, your response sounds a lot like the definition of underachiever according to your standards of Serena's potential.

Oh how did I miss this forum. Probably because I try to forget how horrible Rennae is immediately after I don't see her. Why is she constantly trying to compete with Lindsay Davenport? Lindsay does an incredible job commentating. Rennae - take a communications course or go do something else.

Yes Lindsay is fantastic at what she does in the commentary booth.

I have to agree from a broadcaster's perspective, did radio for 20 years and tv for 2 and Lindsay Davenport has a degree of eloquence that very few commentators have these days. She has really grown on me as a television commentator. No need to add to Stubbs ineptitude, it is already stated.
