Serena: 2018 Female Athlete of the Year.

 
Casper 2018-12-26 16:49:27 

She showed up in Paris wearing a black catsuit, a reminder that nobody can command the Grand Slam stage quite like Serena Williams.

She reached the finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, proving again how well she can play no matter how little she practices.

Williams didn't win those or any other tournaments, which in every other situation might have made for a forgettable year.

In 2018, it was a remarkable one.

Her rapid return to tennis after a health scare following childbirth was a victory in itself, and for that, Williams was voted The Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year for the fifth time.


Williams' previous times winning the AP honor, in 2002, 2009, 2013 and 2015, were because of her dominance.

This one was about her perseverance.

Perhaps You may be unaware of the fact
that the Catsuit , was not worn as a
Fashion Statement ; it was worn pn account of preventing her from getting Blood Clots , which she was having .

My recollection is that her wearing
the Catsuit was eventually banned ,
One is left to decide whether this
had or did not have Racial overtones.

I have seen live & on TV male Players behaving worse than Serena
Williams at the Final of this Year's
U.S Open , and they were never penalized by having A GAME taken away from them .

On-court accomplishments aside, History will have Serena in the company of Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova when it comes to women in tennis and impact beyond the sport (ie sports overall). Possibly even on her own level.

Boy, you were really hooked on that poster. That’s a lot of research.

Nah. Just feel sorry for the poor guy, you know...

Everyday for the past couple years he would post a handful lof threads bawling that Crazy Trump was done and dusted and going to jail, crook, evil, etc etc. etc. interspersed with a few Serena fanboy threads.

Im just hoping Trump didnt send him mad sad

But its no loss to the board, since youve admirably filled the breach with your nonstop Trump threads wink
