I find these tennis sisters disgraceful.

They are so up themselves. Selfish and ungrateful. They should be banned from competing.

I can't believe sponsors give these type of people money.
 
Sorry I don"t agree. They have changed the way womens tennis was played with their power game. I enjoy watching Sarina in full flight. I don't follow their career off the court so I can't comment on your thoughts there.

cheers.
 
They are no more disgraceful than the king of the 'cashed up bogans' Lleyton Hewitt.

I throw up a little in my mouth every time he does the 'self salute' or 'starting the chainsaw'. :vomit:
 
Actually I think they are really gracious. I think they are great. Have you looked at the male players? Roddick was pretty evil last night, and another player, Safin, now he is just a bully to the linesman.

Urrgh, dont get me started on LLey Lley....He isnt a bogan though, well, not what we mean by Bogan in SA, although the spelling of his name comes close. He went to a well known Private school and bogans dont do that!
 
I havent noticed anything wrong with the Williams Sisters.. I think they are pretty good all round.. and some junk in the trunk !!

have to agree I cringe over Hewitt also... comes across as a bit of a jerk..

I find Nadal a bit of a jerk too.. I saw him make Federra wait on the court for about eight minutes before he came out... Federra (spelling?) is all class...

O am 100% behind sanqar on this and hell, I don't even follow tennis
 
when i think of geniune and humble players, at the top of the list is;

Federer,

He respects every opponent, and speaks very wisely,

Although i like the williams sisters;

selfish,ungrateful - can u list some examples? I dont follow tennis as religiously as some, but they may well be. I just havent witnessed it.
 
When they first came onto the scene, I thought they were pretty brash. But you know, they are really gracious, and good players to boot.
Not sure what it is that upsets some people about them.
They are very religious, maybe its that.
 
I'm not fond of the American persona, of which these two girls typify, but you can't take away their tennis prowess. Despite being physically overwhelming for most of the girls on the tour, they can't get away without dedication to the craft.

Would someone like Justin Hennen have ever lifted her game to the level she did without the Williams sisters around? I doubt it.

They've certainly raised the woman's game a rung or three.

The Williams sisters lost a sister and are still out there living their dream!

What are you doing? Creating internet threads purely to whinge.

Nuff said?
 
Maybe you could specify what you don't like about them? Seems pretty silly to just say you can't stand them and offer no reason.

I'm not a tennis follower but I've seen them occasionally and often heard them interviewed on the radio. From both points of view, especially given their success, they seem to me to be surprisingly lacking in arrogance and to be polite and pleasant in interviews.

Good on them both. I wish them continued success.
 
I love the williams sisters, much respect for their absolute prowess on the court. Go Serena for the Aus Open finals!!!
 
I don't like any grunters. It's a form of cheating and should be banned, not to mention how annoying it is to watch ...

Rules out most female tennis players and even a few men then! How can the Williams sisters make you physically ill boundless? I agree with adobee.

Actually, their body fat distribution is typical of African women. Male? Ha, you guys wish! They just happen to be incredibly powerful female athletes, no need to take the credit for that guys! :p:
