I was about to cry when that gorilla started a run to come back and killed my kitten.

I remember used to watch pretty girls playing pretty ball, then came the dark age when both sisters came in and conta(do)minated the WTA.

fking hate them

Have you guys been watching these matches?

Cilic HC > Arod and Fed HC > Davy were pretty easy calls. And Cilic HC > Murray was another easy one.

With Serena's lack of fitness and injury she'll get beat by Henin.

Serena barely beat Li due to her poor attitude and laziness (see ***** athletes). She is prolly 30 lbs overweight and ridiculously out of shape due to her lack of preparation, laziness, and poor attitude. In the past she could just stroll on in (like another fat lazy athlete named Shaq) and dominate. However, that is catching up w/ her.

She should've been sent packing by Aza and any high-caliber player would have dusted her in the semis. Instead, like Henin, she got a no-talent Chinese shopkeeper in the semis... who she barely beat.

This is as clear as day.

Henin -105

but you should take Henin -105... and LIVE you'll get Lazy Williams at +MASSIVE when she's down big.

this match is a gift

another thing to understand is that Henin is a 'hebrew'. if there's a penny on the ground, she'll dive for it like it's a bar of gold. she's a black-hearted, evil bitch.... and she won't give an inch to Serena. she will be at Serena's throat w/ force and glee.

the reality is that Serena will have her big-ass nostrils flaring in this one and her lazy, arrogant look... but due to her fitness level she won't be able to compete.

**Coloradoland** · 01-28-10, 03:44 PM

Pssshhhhhshshhshshs, yeah right. He has looked good, but go fish.

how do you know she's jewish?

**Dark Horse** · 01-28-10, 04:49 PM

love the analysis here. Gorillas, flaring nostrils, jews diving for pennies. lol

No idea there was so much hatred out there for the Williams sisters. I actually like Serena. Thought it was great when she told the Chinese lineswoman that she would stuff the ball down her f*cking throat.

**MilfDriller** · 01-28-10, 04:54 PM

I'm not saying she is.... I'm just saying she's 'that kind of person'. That's how she operates.

I'll give you an example.

Last night (or today) in the Cilic match, Murray was up 5-1 in the 4th set. Cilic was serving. The HC was a push and Cilic just needed one more game for the win. (Going into the 5th, 1-6 was needed for a push or 2-6 was needed for a win)

B/c Murray isn't a Hebrew he let the game slide. He didn't care either way. But if he wanted to, he could've forced the effort and won the match 6-1. Instead, he didn't care. He would just serve it out on his racquet.

Now here's the difference. Henin is a hard-core Hebrew. If she's up 5-1 on Serena in the last set and Serena is serving, what will happen? You can bet that Henin will be at Serena's throat w/ a knife.... and she won't budge an inch. She'll want to stick 6-1 in Serena's face. She's a hard-core Hebrew in her matches. That's her style. That's how she's a Hebrew.

Henin is the cream of the WTA before she left and proved she still is

**RobbReport** · 01-28-10, 05:08 PM

i thought this shit was today, i have to wait till friday night!

Its unbelievable to watch Henin play because here is this 5-5 225 pound pretty little girl that comes out there and destroys the ball.

At these dimensions I'm not so sure I'd say she was little, but surely she can destroy a tennis ball!

**fixxer** · 01-28-10, 05:48 PM

Imho Henin is far from her 100%....my pick is on Serena

They didn't dominate, Henin has won just as many major titles as Venus, and Henin has won more singles titles than Venus or Serena. It was 3 who dominated, Henin was right there with the Williams sisters, the Williams sisters just got more publicity. Henin is my favorite player because of this.

And you never watched Steffi Graf or Monica Seles play matches? THAT was as good as it will ever get in womens tennis.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-28-10, 05:57 PM

I think people are underestimating the power advantage of Serena in the serve department still. Henin has yet to face anyone in her comeback who can even partially simulate what Serena brings. Again, I think anyone basing their pick of Henin alot on her semifinal match has alot to learn. Comparing Zheng to Serena is like comparing a f-ing tit mouse to a wildebeast. Henin could not have asked for a better opponent yesterday, no serve and very little pop on her returns. Henin was able to dictate the action any which way she wanted. My concern as a Henin backer is that even at less than 100%, Serena can erase the fitness advantage with aces and going for big shots. She's shown that in the past two matches and won. Also, Henin's double faults ... I'm just saying, they haven't burned her yet, but she's playing with fire. You give free points to someone who can do something with them and you lose.

You are absolutely correct, Henin is one of the most ruthless tennis players to ever set foot on the court. She becomes an assassin when she steps on the court. But she is a very graceful person and very nice off the court.

But on the court she will step on the gas and will not let you breathe. Very rare for a womans tennis player, the only other one that comes to mind that was like that is Martina Navratilova.

They talked about this yesterday, how the women fear her mere presence on the court.

That being said Serena could win the match.

**RobbReport** · 01-28-10, 06:00 PM

Serena is not 100%, Elena pounced on her in the last tournament when she was worn out. Henin will not stay baseline like Na Li, she will attack as soon as she gets the chance to come in.

Love it! This analysis, although hilarious, is spot on. My cash is on Henin. Loving the hebrew

**Dark Horse** · 01-29-10, 11:47 AM

Passing on this one. Toss up.

**chibears** · 01-29-10, 12:02 PM

on henin as well

**cav1x** · 01-29-10, 03:52 PM

Odds on Serena are dropping

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-29-10, 04:51 PM

All the money is on Serena so far. Funny since SBR seems to all be on Henin, guess no one has put their money down BIG yet.

Most here only run off at the fingers and spew hate. Easy pick, Jordan could not even win the championship in his first comeback attempt

**actionaddict86** · 01-29-10, 05:43 PM

**constrictor** · 01-29-10, 06:13 PM

Small play on the over

**soxwin1917** · 01-29-10, 11:23 PM

I like Serena...but this thread is making me question my lean

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-29-10, 11:59 PM

All money still on Serena, so again with all the supposed support for Henin - why is the price going better for her? Serena is going to win. That is my call at this juncture.

**LEB3R** · 01-30-10, 12:05 AM

hennin fo sho

**jayroy25** · 01-30-10, 12:08 AM
