Serena Williams

[Unknown_Genius]

The simple fact is that she's bigger and more powerful than most other women tennis players. It gives her an unfair advantage IMO, and has made the final a boring non-event. Her opponent looks like a woman, Serena looks (from a distance, on TV) like a man.

I'm not doubting that Serena Williams is a lovely human being - she probably is.

Navratilova was the same, before any cretin accuses me of racism.

The only way around it is to introduce weight categories as in boxing.

So training hard, working out, and being professional is a sin? I thought that was how you made it to the top in your sport. Maybe Yaya Toure should be kicked out of football, because he's too big and powerful, an unfair advantage.

And who gives cares what she looks like?

I don't care what she looks like, I just think she gains an unfair advantage due to her size. Some have said that it takes more than brute strength to win the Wimbledon ladies title - absolutely, she's a phenomenal tennis player.

My point is that her being built like a man gives her a better chance than most of the other women. If it didn't, then there would be no reason to split the men and women up.

Ricky Hatton could out fight most 20 stone blokes in a pub - this doesn't mean that Ricky Hatton should be having to fight against heavyweight boxers, because they would be gaining an advantage.

Rafael Nadal is more powerful and muscular than a big chunk of his opponents, does he always win it? Women's tennis is quite poor, which is why the William's sisters have been so dominant.

I understand that the point is about the Williamses spoiling the art.

A big black girl smacking a little green ball beyond a wailing, flailing, white girl might appeal to some, but ultimately the audience want entertainment. More than that, they want value.

They want art, elegance, posture, a plot, even dance.

Well, tough luck shit heads.

One bird twats it harder than another can react. Enjoy your strawberries.

so you're taking Usain Bolt out of the Olympics then? because he's bigger than all his rivals...
