Why not just make a doll and stick a pin in it?

What's curious is that Serena is known to be a Jehovah's Witness, a sect probably even more anathema to our liberal overlords than Pentecostalism. That said, Serena has never courted (geddit?) any public controversy on subjects like homosexual and abortion rights. This could be due to her being media-savvy and/or well-advised, or, more likely, she's as ignorant of JW/Christian theology as she is of tennis history. That's why I think Court is right to say to say that Serena doesn't admire her, but for the wrong reason.

On what basis do you arrive at that conclusion?

 
StumpCam 2022-09-05 12:52:25 

I will stick to tennis and say that in Margaret Court’s era, players used a wooden racquet half the size of today’s players. However, the players of today are more athletic. razz

Court is entitled to her opinion there. Does not diminish Serena's outstanding career. Court has her own resume to be proud of.

Where does Martina Navratilova rank?

more than an opinion, she sounds bitter...i mean that baby comparison is what?

80 year olds are known for speaking their minds, if they still have one.

Serena’s rant about how she is the greatest athlete regardless of gender wasn’t bitter too?

If it were up to that witch, the likes of Venus and Serena would never been seen on a tennis court…the only thing they would be serving is drinks…

Allyuh lucky CCC regulars don't plan to start a thread with all di players allyuh predicted were going to be better than Serena. It's fall down funny lol lol lol

It’s never a good idea to compare players from different eras. Just watched a little of 1970 Wimbledon Ladies Final between Court and Billie Jean King. Apparently there was no tie breaker rule in effect.

I'm referring to the reported campaign to have the Maureen Court Arena, home to the Australian Open, renamed.

People hate who dem hate and love who dem love.

If Sharapova did hide from a drug test, steal a woman husband, threaten to shove a ball down an official throat and call women bitches she would be the worst thing ever.

Wunna need to stop worshipping these people when them as flawed as we are.

…except tennis. You can actually make quite a good comparison between the quality of the opposition in the pre- and post open era.

If sports writers were being honest, they would never compare Court’s wins with Serena’s and I suspect if roles were reversed, you would not be hearing about Serena’s record” wins that included games in the pre open era.

Margaret Court won an Australian open against a number one tennis player—a number one TABLE tennis player.

Acknowledging di GOAT has nothing to do wish worship.
