Get over it guys...these two are UGLY. If you look in their faces you'll see Mike Tyson, I swear. They are so ugly in fact, I'd have to see medical evidence to believe they are actually female. Until I see the evidence, these two should be playing tennis with the men.
 

[Gplanet:] "they are really good tennis players. but i can't stand to watch them because i'm distracted by their ugliness, that doesn't detract from their talent it only detracts from my ability to witness their talent without having to keep looking away"

Your avatar distracts me from reading your post 'cuz that's all I can think of . . . a really ugly avatar. Hope the face behind it is a charming prince.

LOL! :D

[Carbo:] "Yes. Venus is a man with an awful fright wig."

Listen to me hon', if you are about to pick on her, then you better damn be set to show me you are some fine looking person. :p

Seriously though, your post sounds like clear envy. Funny she isn't even anything like that. She's a beautiful woman. I don't like the way she and her sis do their hair, but she's still beautiful . . . at least not ugly. Her sis Serena on the other hand isn't really good looking. She doesn't look as neat and good as her older sis. I like her older sis better.

"Yeah, and Tiger Woods has big teeth

Seriously, people can't find fault with their performances so they find other petty thing to pick apart..."


I so agree with you NSF4. People are so pathetic. But I'm afraid it's human nature. Hehehe! :p The absence of envy is rather more threatening 'cuz who knows what they are plotting behind one's back. Let them show envy . . . at least they can get over it soon.

Didn't they once accuse the ladies of using not too clean methods to defeat the opponent? That accusation didn't last long. Those commentators had to chew their crap.

Those girls look older. I thought they were way older. :eek:

Anyway, back to topic: I was impressed. I say go for it, girls! If I was exposed to much of tennis when I was a kid, I would be an expert by now and be good enough to face many ladies there. I say congrats to those girls who used all of their ability and got exposed early enough. If they merit it, then so be it. It is not my job to envy maliciously anyone who merited something. I envy them positively and hope they can keep it up. :D

1. They're ugly, Serena not as much but Venus definitely looks like a man.

2. They're destroying Women's Tennis. Tennis is the only sport I can think of that watching
the women play is every bit if not more entertaining than watching the men. Think about it, what other major sport
does the women get as much television coverage? The reason is while the men serve up one ace after another, you can see better rallies watching women tennis. The Williams sisters along with Jennifer Capriati are playing like men now. Less rallies, more aces, more power returns = *yawn*

Great, just what we need in women's tennis. A bunch of muscle head mutated freaks that looks like men. Yeah they play great, but it's no fun to watch at all. Especially when they just absolutely obliterated cute little girls game after game after game after game.

either of the williams sister would be beat my any male player even up too the 250's. In my honest opinion my old college team or even guys playing the Futures satellite tournaments could make it a close match. That is an insult to men's tennis. With Hewitt they should be lucky to get beat 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. Don't you remember the australian open a couple of years ago. An out of shape chain smoking german pro ranked in the hundreds beat them each in a set like 6-1. The men hit a much a "heavier ball" and though they do serve fast a pro women's serve is actually pretty easy to return because it literally doesn't have any action compared to that of a man's serve(and the difference in second serves are enormous). But it's fruitless since this is comparing apples to oranges.

I dont know how people could honestly say that Serena Williams looks like a man. IMO she is one beautiful black woman. Everyone cant be a bombshell like anna kounikova. Really, just compare Serena to an Amelie MAuresmo or Justine Henin or a Monica Seles. If yall would pick anyone of them over her I might just have to hit you with the pimp-stick...

So b/c they don't look good and they can play as good as a man, they have destroyed the sport??? They are excellent players and they shouldn't be able to play b/c you don't like it?

Now I know why many women look down on us men ;)

No, they being ugly is one of the reason why people don't like them but it's not why their screwing up women's tennis. What is destroying women's tennis is the aces, power returns, and the total destruction of their opponents that is really cutting down on the rallies and length of the matches. The top 3 players all have that same game now, and that is pretty much the men's game. If this trends continues, people will stop watching women's tennis. If it's all going to be about power, might as well watch the men's right?

You see, the only reason women's tennis is such a success is because it is vastly different from the men's game. The men's games are dominated by aces, quick returns, and relatively short rallies. Having the top 3 ranked players playing like men is really killing what me and probably alot of other people liked about the women's division. Can you imagine 200+lb muscle head women playing pro football? Who would want to watch that? Does anybody care about women's softball? What about the WNBA, nobody really cares about that either. Women's tennis is probably the only major sport that people watch, and yes, the williams sisters are killing it.
 

"I dont know how people could honestly say that Serena Williams looks like a man."

Oh, brother! You mean to admit that her sister, Venus, looks like a man but Serena does not? :Q Hehehe! I just felt like picking on you since you defended her but skipped her sis Venus. Venus has been the one attacked the most here about her physical appearance.

Funny, my sis thinks Serena is better looking 'cuz Venus has more of a lady's kind of muscle . . . not much. In my sis' view, Serena is well cut.

But then I read posts here reaching the same conclusion but using the opposite premise as the basis of their argument. :confused: I think I would like to see a survey taken on who amongst the two sis is ugly or who's better looking. I hardly saw much pics of them. But based on what I saw yesterday and today, I still think Venus is better looking.

When I first saw them years ago, I think I thought Venus looked a lot like a man in her physique. But first time impression is very deceiving. And that's the body we speak of. Hardly do I ever find any tennis player with a nice body. So when compared to her peers, Venus isn't anything like some silly guys are saying here. :D She's not ugly. She's relatively beautiful when limited to her peers as the domain from whence comes samples. You guys should give it some chance 'cuz first time impression is very deceiving! :D

I've never really watched a tennis game in my life but I couldn?t bring myself to turn away.

The Williams may have won the match but Rubin and Kournikova won the beauty pageant.

Oh, man, that's rich!!
Listen, Venus has nostrils that were the model for the caves in Tora Bora. This ain't no Nubian honey. Has anyone ever seen Venus and former middleweight champ Sugar Ray Leonard together? I didn't think so. Rumor has it Ray needed the bucks and decided to make a comeback. Take a good look...........

The mens game right now is not in a state comparable to the womens game where it's all power. Previously, it was Sampras who banged the aces, but now, if you look at the top 10 in the Champion's race, you'll see that none of them serve hard like Rusedski, old Sampras, Phillipousis (sp), ... etc.

Safin come's close, but he does a lot more rallying from the baseline than Sampras ever did, Costa is a clay court player, Agassi is a fine returner and ball striker, Hewitt, well, he just returns every ball waiting for a mistake from his opponent, and Henman is equivalent to Hewitt, except he lacks the desire and heart.

Here's the leaderboard. http://www.atptour.com/en/players/raceleaderboard/

To stay on topic, it seems most people see those of different nationalities and/or races as ugly unless they have light skin and/or are the type usually depicted in movies, on tv, and in commercials.

Must be nice to be 20,22 and already raking in the millions. They earned it tho, although usually when parents are so overbearing and focused on their kids performance, it backfires.
