She's 37 years old and was playing a fearless kid with nothing to lose who was just crushing the ball. Her (Bianca) pep talk to herself when the second set went to 5 all was priceless -- just keep the god damn ball inside the court.

Serena may be the greatest individual athlete of them all but she really should just lose graciously and spare us the melodrama.

The whole thing last year with Naomi Osaka was a disgrace on her.

Yeah.
Her ego is just too big for her to control. All she had to do was congratulate the young woman who beat her and offer some platitudes like she was better than me today. Instead, it's Serena this, Serena that, Serena didn't show up today, Serena's never played worse, I wasn't Serena today, blah blah blah. You have to hand it to the Big Three men, as best I can tell they are all modest in victory and gracious in defeat.

I couldn't agree more Peter. Serena is very good at tennis, and while it doesn't happen often, I love watching her lose.
