But they have a knack for making people, commmentators, haters, look like fools.
Exhibit A: Serena. At the beginning of the year...everybody was calling her washed up, a has been, all kinda letters were written..so what does she do? Win the Oz open, destroying media-darling Maria Sharapova in the final, despite starting the event ranked no.81!
Exhibit B: Venus. Washed up, can't beat top players anymore. What does she do? Breaks her OWN record for lowest-seed to win Wimbledon, beating three top 10-ers ( including a trashing of Maria Sharapova AGAIN!)..doesn't drop a set in the last 4 matches and only lost serve twice!!
A TON of posters made some of the worst statements on here about her as well. Even many of her fans gave up on her. But in true Venus fashion, she AGAIN rips the heart out of the haters and naysayers. :lol:

people saw MaSha in her draw in the 4th rd and immediately said....no way she can get past her...last time I had checked...when playing on grass and at her best MaSha was trounced by Venus...this goes to show...once more...that they are the best when their games are on...
Venus was definitely in the mix. I never heard anyone say that Venus wouldn't win! Everyone said that they draw was wide open and they did throw her in the mix.
They may have thrown her in the mix, but I think that for most people it was for the purpose of covering their asses, not because they really believed that she had a chance.
Almost everybody should know that if you count out a Williams, you are setting yourself up to look like a fool.

Slams are different baby. There's something special about slams that I never write off the sisters in it. I expect them to really give it a run in slams.
Actually you never know in any tournament imo.
