Not true. Serena never gave credit to her opponents when she was younger. She now does but I have never seen her say "she was just better than me today".

Venus never does high handshakes anyway.

Re: Handshake FAILS
Jankovic always has gracious handshakes except against Rezai

Re: Handshake FAILS
Mari kiri and Mashapova had a cold handshake the other day after their match. Is it safe to say they are no longer friends?

Re: Handshake FAILS
^with the chair umpire Kader Nouni:
Maria: goes up to shake hand
Serena: tries to get in before her
Maria: beats Serena to it
Maria and Serena's hands awkwardly touch
Serena: doesn't shake Kader's hand in the end

Re: Handshake FAILS
It's cause the loser usually shakes the umpire's hand first.
