Terrible! http://thetennistimes.com/serena-williams-rap-song-terrible/ http://thetennistimes.com/serena-williams-rap-song-terrible/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 09:35:14 +0000 The Insider http://thetennistimes.com/?p=7999 It seems like Serena Williams is trying to become a rapper! According to TMZ, Williams had some fun laying down a couple of rap tracks last year at a studio called B Major Music Group in Florida. The studio is owned by Ravens offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie, who is apparently close friends with the Williams sisters.

Let us know what you think of the track.

I think its pretty terrible!

Serena Williams 2012 French Open dressSerena Williams 2012 French Open possibly dress

The pink/purple dress could be an option too, but the mint green dress is more likely to be seen.

These dresses look really cool to me, and I think that they are bright and memorable. Serena should look good in either of these, and I hope she goes a long way at Roland Garros.

After winning the final Serena appeared on the Home Shopping Network to help sell her corset leggings (Over 17,000 sold).

p.s. Im really surprised Serena isnt selling some sort of workout fitness gear or some body shaping products ;)

It was another great win for Serena Williams at the Family Circle Cup. Serena Williams defeated Lucie Safarova 6-0 6-1 in the final. This was by far the most dominant tournament I have ever seen from Serena.

I know the Clay courts in Charleston are a lot different to those in Paris, but this will hold her in good sted for a French Open 2012 push.

With both sisters ranking and stamina dropping, how long will they attempt to keep playing the WTA Tour?

Venus, the elder of the two sisters fell ill during 2011 and missed the majority of the season, causing her ranking to drop to 103rd in the world. Making her come back at Miami this year, Venus did well to beat reigning Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, but Venus was shaky at best and looked exhausted after playing the first set of her matches. In tennis years Venus is old, an incredible player in her time but her time is up, I hope she competes in the Olympics and then retires from tennis.

Serena Williams is simply an embarrassment to tennis, over the last several years she has put in zero effort and expected to turn up and be the best player at every tournament she plays! Serena hasnt dealt with being overtaken very well, arguments with umpires, lack of respect for her fellow players and unrealistic boasting like “I probably played 20%” We have seen players like Azarenka, Clijsters and Stosur overtake Williams and she cannot take it. Hopefully promising young American talents like McHale and King can start a new generation of women’s tennis in America, a generation that shouldnt include Serena Williams.

While the sisters are able to make finals and semi finals at the moment, what happens when they are falling at quarter finals? If the Williams sisters are still playing professional tennis in 2013, god help American Tennis!

After her loss at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami to Caroline Wozniacki, Serena said the following:

“The good thing is I could’ve played a lot better,” Serena told reporters. “I probably played about 20 percent. You know, it would really suck and if I had to sit here and say I couldn’t do any better. That’s not the case. I just made a tremendous amount of errors. There’s no reason for that. I’m older and I shouldn’t do that. There’s no excuse. I just gotta stop that. It’s silly.”

Serena only played at 20 percent. Is this not just a rude comment towards Wozniacki and her play?

Mainly Because She Isnt http://thetennistimes.com/serena-williams-never-gets-credit-for-being-nice-mainly-because-she-isnt/ http://thetennistimes.com/serena-williams-never-gets-credit-for-being-nice-mainly-because-she-isnt/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:29:12 +0000 The Insider http://thetennistimes.com/?p=7061

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!

There was a lot of talk a few months ago about Serena Williams dating Grigor Dimitrov. The rumours have died down, but I was sitting here wondering if anyone had a scoop as both players are hanging out together at the Sony Ericsson Open 2012 this week in Miami.

Any gossip?
