Sorry, I am not sure if this is true, but a lot of people on MTF were saying that Mary Carillo hates the Williams sisters. Is this true? If so, why?
Are Williams sisters the ONLY rich tennis players that are currently playing on the tour ?icequeen said:Because they are rich and she is poor.
Have you ever considered that it might just be that you're far less critical of them?The Truth said:I'm not going to speculate, but I know she seems to be far more critical of them then she is of other players.
That's not that unreasonable. As a commentator, she has to play the odds when she makes prognastic statements. After the first set and a half at the AO semis, the odds were that Serena was going to lose. So Mary said so. It wasn't unfair.venus_rulez said:So to answer question, no i don't think she hates them, I think she just changes her opinion to go along with the masses, like a lot of other people.
I would agree with everything said above.Miching~Mallecho said:I don’t think she hates them.
I just think she dislikes them because their life doesn’t revolve around tennis.
She expects them to eat, breathe and sleep tennis like most players.
She can’t seem to stand the fact that they can be successful in the game without being fully committed.
Plus…she’s abitchmajor bitch...
Maybe Mary thinks that they have squandered their talent and under achived compared to what they could have done. But I am sure she is alone in that thought.TeamUSA#1 said:I am a big V+S fan, but I am in the minority in the belief that Mary does NOT hate the sisters. I think she has high expectations for both of them (and all of the other elite players) and when they don't live up to them she can critical, but it def. is not hate. I think she admires them both actually.

Justin @ 3:34pm said:Mary doesnt HATE the sisters, that is a strong word.However, she does hold them to a higher standardb than other players, is pretty quick to denigrate thgem and their chances, and is inconsistent with her commentary. So to a fan of Serena's, thats hating, but not hatred.
