*In the immortal words of singer Sunshine Anderson, we’ve “heard it all before…” but it’s still worthy of mentioning that women’s tennis powerhouse, Serena Williams, is on another tear. She’s just a few Grand Slam steps away from reaching “greatest of all time” numbers in the sport, which makes recording her exploits all the more [...]

*Serena Williams continues to solidify her legacy in the annals of professional tennis history.

She also broke, along with Maria’s spirit, a longstanding record of [...]
*For the first time in two years, Serena Williams can validly lift her finger as being the WTA world no. 1.

*After a day 9 of intermittent rain delays and postponements that threatened to throw a major glitch in US Open’s scheduling, day 10 concluded with order restored … except for a shocking upset. Minor upsets have been a recurring part of this year’s topsy-turvy story Open story, but the business end of the tournament was [...]
*Serena Williams is having an Olympic Deja vu of sorts.

Before [...]
*It’s pretty darned close to unanimous that Serena Williams is poised to once again claim the trophy in New York at the 2012 US Open. She’s taken home the title 3 times from the unique-in-atmosphere Grand Slam held on US soil – but, shockingly, given her immense talent, not since 2008. Beset by health issues [...]
*Serena Williams famously celebrated her Olympics singles win over Maria Sharapova with a Crip walk, and now there’s an expectation that she’ll punctuate every victory going forward with the same dance.

*Centre Court at the All England Club, Wimbledon played host to the worst Olympic tennis beat down since 1920, (Suzanne Lenglen of France beat Dorothy Holman of Britain 6-3, 6-0) on this windy Saturday in London (so windy the American flag blew clean away). Serena Williams (4th-seeded) all but completely shut out her rival and [...]
*The tournament favorite from the start, Serena Williams – and her A-game, have secured at least one more Olympic medal for the US.

*Former world no. 1, Serena Williams, is still considered to be on the comeback trail, given her spotty participation of late in the sport she’s arguably dominated for the last 16 years. The on again, off again, 13-time Slam champion has survived various injuries and other setbacks to keep finding herself lurking somewhere in the [...]
