Serena Williams and the U.S. Open
The U.S. Open is all about the best players in tennis. Who might you see at the 2010 U.S. Open? You might see Serena Williams a very good and excellent player. She has been rated in the top ten for most of her career. Barring her injury to a tendon that was repaired and slowed her down for a time until a recent rise over the past few years. And ranked her at the lowest she had ever seen one hundred eighty one. She is once again ranked in the top ten and competing like she did early on in her career.
She has won more title and grand slams then most players of her day. One of her main competitors is her sister Venus. They have competed for Grand Slam titles numerous times and it is the first time that two sisters have competed for four of them in one year. Serena has won more prize money than any other female in history in tennis and continues to rake in the big pots. The competition between sisters is fierce and always a good match. They are pretty even on the court and the record between the two shows it.
Serena is an offensive player with one of the strongest serves in the game. Some say that she plays to aggressive and lacks defense. That however is a misconception. They do say defense wins championships and she has plenty of them to prove it. She can hit the ball with great placement no matter where in the court she receives the ball from. She holds a strong open stance in both her forehand and backhand stroke. She can do great things on the court with a superior serve and a tremendous back hand that is said to be the best in females’ tennis. And her serves strike fear in her opponents with consistent serves well over a hundred miles per hour.
Her background in tennis has been long and deep and has played since a young child. Her and her sister were coached by their parents and have done exceptionally well. During their pre teenager years they were both on the junior tennis tour and Serena was ranked number one. One thing has not changed and that is that she is still and has always been since a young age a force to reckon with. Her parents pulled the sisters off the junior tour due to racisism that the father had noted from the white parents. So he took them off and continued coaching her. Which made her a great player and she continues to win. Race was never an issue for her and winning is not either.
