Serena - "She'll Be Back"

I'm psyched that Serena will be competing in the US Open. We need her. Can't wait to see what she wears--- oh and how she plays as well of course. Wink

Quote:
"I honestly just needed a mental break. I was going through a lot of stuff in my life, besides surgery and including surgery," Williams said Thursday, without going into specifics. "It was a lot — a lot that not everyone will understand or ever know."

Now her aim is to compete at the year's last Grand Slam tournament, the
U.S. Open, which starts Aug. 28.

Whatever the reason for her break I could careless about her. She let down the tennis community. It wasn't the fact that she was losing her matches. But the fact that she withdrew from many tournments with the same excuse

I totally agree. She didn't show any dedication to tennis. To her, it's only a part-time job, which is sad.

I think she has struggled alot in recent years, all starting with the tragic murder of her sister. She has had numerous injuries since then, and of course it would still effect her. That kind of thing gives you a larger perspective for life, so I think she was entitled to have a break from tennis. She has still been around the top by winning A.Open and still being in the top 10. I really hope she will make a good comeback now, she looked in shape again in the pictures I saw of her.

Another question poped in my mind. Does she really want to comeback??? Or is peer pressurre forcing her??

I'm not sure whether it's through peer pressure, but extra cash never hurts....

both I believe. It can't help that ANERES is being selled at discount stores. snap! Surprised was I supposed to say that?
Brooke

I think she was just enjoying all the fame and $$. Then it was too late and she couldn't catch up to Sharapova or Justine Henin-Hardine or Mauresmo.
Cool I still hope she can play the same game she did--we shall see. Razz

Lol, that reminds me of the day I saw her perfume at Target. Laughing But I don't like the ANERES style anyway. I personally think it's kind of ugly. Well, one thing's for sure, the clothing line doesn't suit me! Laughing

I think her match vs. Myskina starts at 7:00....
leftys_rock

It does. Which means, it should begin in about 30 min. I'm excited for this match, but I don't have a favorite that I want to win in this.

Brooke

I also don't care for Serena's line of clothes. I esp hate it when she wears them on the court!

Is this match on ESPN? Very Happy Wink
J-man

I don'tthink Serena's match that she will lose (Wink) is on ESPN
Brooke

I could have swore it said Myskina was winning........ I'm confused......... Question
leftys_rock

Serena is up 3-0, and looks like she is BREEZING. Shocked
J-man

Damn Mad I bet Myskina came into the match very nervous. Didn't know what to expect. Not entirely confident
J-man

Serena captured the first set 6-2 and is up in the second 2-1
dav6789

Serena Williams beats Anastasia Myskina, the 2nd seed, 6-2 6-2. That must have been a very confident match for Serena and shows she is a champion.
J-man

It shows that she can comeback after 6 months off of the tour and win a match

Only time can tell if she's hear to stay and play Professinal tennis
J-man

Perry up 4-2 on Mattek
Tennis fan

Wow! Serena won 6-2 6-2!
x.doublea

OMG! She absolutely destroyed Myskina...60 points to 37. Totally unexpected.
Brooke

Can anyone tell me WHY I CAN'T GET THIS MATCH ON TV? Mad Mad
x.doublea

I'm sure it'll be available on torrent spy soon....
