Serena's footing on the beach is probably more intense than what she showed today so it's a bad excuse.besides that, by efforts I also meant the whole attitude;I saw a quick vid of Djokovic in an exho with kuerten just few days after winning the WTF.He looked exhausted but he gave a lot of himself, had great interactions with the crowd etc...Serena (and a lot of others)should watch and learn.

Everybody is different, you should watch and learn this. Djokovic is basically a clown, always has been. He is great for exhos but don't expect the same from everybody.

Serena acted like that cause she obviously didn't give a f*ck and was too lazy/not in the mood to even try, not cause she's an introvert  And in Djoko case, the most important thing was not the clownish act (if you want to call it that way)which always entertains the crowd, but also how he interacted with everyone especially kids and really paid attention to people.Money wise it's a big effort for a lot of people to come and see them so the players should at least be more respectful and give back more (especially someone like Ree who probably asked tons of money to even show up);Seems obvious to me.

She gives back plenty, and she clowns around when she wants, such as Hopman Cup, Haiti exho, Billie Jean and plenty others stop acting like a tight ass. You criticize her for everything.

Re: Live Commentary Thread vol24
I agree with homogenius that Rena could have shown a little bit more heart.

As i said, she is not the only one acting like that in these exhos.I just find kind of sad to see players (particularly the high profile ones like Ree)make it so obvious that they are only here for the cash and don't give a f*ck like she did today.If you were in the stands and had pay to watch this you would sing another song so don't feel obliged to defend everything she does no matter what.

Barty played GS's and 25K's and Northingham Wimby warm-Up and not much more..... But she plays well. (But can't compare her talent with other Aussie girls.. )
