Serena Williams Never Gets Credit for Being Nice! Mainly Because She Isnt

Serena Williams claims she doesnt get enough credit for being nice! What a joke.

Serena explained why she apologized to Samantha Stosur after she lost a Hawk-Eye challenge at Miami’s Sony Ericsson Open.

“I always do kinda out of habit,” Serena told reporters about the Hawk-Eye apology. “I don’t mean to. I don’t get enough credit for being a super nice person and clapping on good points. They only focus on me yelling at umpires. I’m actually an unbelievable professional competitor out there.”

This is a complete load of rubbish. Serena never actually apologized to Stosur or the chair umpire at the US Open 2011. Serena its about time you grew up!

Victoria Azarenka Wins Doha Title and is Now 17-0 in 2012

Victoria Azarenka has continued her amazing year so far and is now 17 wins and 0 losses. Azarenka defeated Samantha Stosur 6-1 6-2 in the Doha final yesterday.

“I think that one point at the beginning of the match really saved my butt a little bit – you know, I hit the net,” Azarenka said. “But I was trying to be really aggressive and not let her command it, because that’s what she likes to do. She has a huge serve, and the first shot, that’s where she puts the opponent on the run, and you run so far behind the baseline. I tried to take that away from her.

“It feels amazing to win this title. I have been coming here quite a few times, also for the WTA Championships, and I never even reached the final, so for me it’s extra special to win here. I really like this tournament a lot.”

This was also Maria Sharapova’s first tournament in a month since her ankle injury.

Samantha Stosur Behind the Scenes after US Open 2011 Win

Serena Williams You Are a Dick!

Serena Williams has been fined $2,000 by the US Open after berating the chair umpire during the final.

Serena called out come on before Samantha Stosur even tried to hit the ball. Of course she should have got a code violation. Chair umpire 1 – Serena Williams 0

More importantly Serena is going to lose a huge amount of fans after the US Open.

A sampling of what Williams said, prompting the umpire to call the code violation:

— “You’re out of control.”

— “You’re a hater, and you’re just unattractive inside.”

— “Really, don’t even look at me.”

— “Your a loser.”

Williams, who never complains, also refused to shake that unattractive hater Asderaki’s hand at the end of the match, because she’s such a great sport who never complains. Never!

Samantha Stosur: US Open 2011 Womens Singles Champion

Samantha Stosur has become the first Australian lady to win a Grand Slam since Evonne Goolagong in 1980! Congrats Sam! Sam won 6-2 6-3.

Samantha had an amazing game plan against Serena and executed it perfectly. At time Serena looked like she just wasnt able to do anything right and Stosur kept hitting winner after winner.

I was so glad to see that Serena got a point penalty for yelling come-on, when the ball was still on her side of the court. I wonder if this is the start of something to come on the ladies tour with grunting?

Anyways, Stosur played an amazing match and it was great to see her do so well!

Congrats Sam!

I lost track of the score, I didn’t know at one point if I should be serving or receiving. With all the challenges it was super-exciting. The crowd was into it. I couldn’t hear myself think.
