Kim's starting to make me sick.

Don't get me wrong. I like Clijsters. She's sweet, nice, fun to watch-and she chokes.

She WON'T admit she gags (first step on the road to recovery) AND she's too sweet.

Kim needs to become a Bit. A Bit is a bit of a bitch, not a total bitch.
Kim needs to channel her inner bitch.

All the current grand slam champs are bitches-and Rollo means that as a compliment

Look at Henin. Tough bitch. Look at the hand bitch. Me take an injury time out while you stew bitch. The only thing Bitty about this B is her size

Serena? Stare you down bitch. I yell and scream and screech til you give in bitch. I am 9,000 levels above you even though you beat me, Bitch.

Capriati? Where DO we begin? You are NOT a f* goddess bitch. I can say whatever the &*?! I want to umps, players, and even crying babies in the stands, You know? I even bitched out the original bitch,Billie Jean King.

Venus? OK-she's classy in a way none of the 3 gals above are, but she has Chris Evert style Bitchiness. Spirlea was right. She DOES think she's the (insert naughty word)ing Venus Williams. Look at that haughty ice queen stare and you see it. Call her Ice Queen Bitch.

Davenport is so sweet right? And WHEN was the last time she won a slam? When Linds was winning slams she was kicking Alex Stevensons bag across the locker room floor.


Kim has yet to display signs of being a Bit. It's a prerequisite for being a grand slam champ for a woman.

So get B-ing Kim, even it only makes you a Bit bitchy.


P. S. Sorry for all the B

Rollo: what a lovely rant!!! and i totally agree. Kim IS too nice for her own good. the problem too is that she gets a lot of praise for being nice. all the commentators keep saying what a nice girl she is. Mary Carillo needs to give her a good talking to. that'll bitch her up.

 

[Pureracket]

Rollo,
I like this thread. I'm wondering if Kimmie lacks a bit of the killer(B) instinct that the Slam champions have.

 

[Infiniti2001]

Kewl thread Rollo-- I especially like and agree 100% with your assesment of Venus . :lol: As for Kim perhaps she needs a sports psychologist

 

[irma]

kim steal Justine's pillow and hit on it like it is Justine

 

[Experimentee]

Well its a choice between winning Slams and being liked by everyone. I agree with you. But maybe Kim would feel uncomfortable with being a bitch in the sense that you described, though it would be good for her game.
Funny how the things that all these players are hated for and get bashed for on this board are actually helping them win Slams, and Kim probably has the least criticism by the media and msg boards, but she isnt winning them.

 

[Ballbuster]

Wow a refreshing Opening Post!

Yup, Kim needs to B!tch Up!

 

[tennnisfannn]

Why is everyone suddenly saying Kim is too nice to win a slam. Look at her route to the final, did not drop a single set. Does that mean that she was nasty to Amber Liu, Megahann, Lindsay etc and suddenly became nice to Justine. Did she tank the match so Justine can have a great year or so Serena could complete the Serena slam. I could understand if she 'chose' to be 'nice' to her first round qualifiers, they are the ones who need not only the ranking points but the money too.
The 'niceness' debate also suggests that Graf, navritalova, seles, venus etc were pretty mean.
How nice is a person? The public and private lives of the famous are not necessarily the same (not that i am suggesting that Kim isn't). I know on this board saying excuse me when you burp is considered real classy.
Kim is an but people want her to be a or get real so her fans can be
Kim has been working so hard on her game and mental strenght is a part she is working on now.
Nice or not, Kim will a slam when she gets it all together.

 

[tennischick]

what evidence do you have that Kim is working on her mental strength??

 

[SanTaureau Fan]

Kim doesn't need to become a bitch... Capriati is a total bitch and she chokes all the time. There is no link between the fact that Kim is nice and the fact that she can't win a slam.

 

[katrientje]

Cool post in very strange way
First time I like people calling Justine a bitch

 

[Rocketta]

Kim doesn't need to become a bitch... Capriati is a total bitch and she chokes all the time. There is no link between the fact that Kim is nice and the fact that she can't win a slam.

but at least Capriati hangs tough to the last game....Kim comes out needing the Heimlich manuever in game one.

 

[Rocketta]

ohh and funny thread Rollo

Bitch up Kim!

 

[gentenaire]

Kim doesn't need to become a bitch. She just needs to find the mental strength back that she had until last year. She used to own Justine. I was worried Justine would never beat Kim again. Now I'm worried Kim will never beat Justine again.

She doesn't need to become a bitch, she does need to be more ambitious, set goals and go for it.

 

[Rocketta]

she does need to be more ambitious, set goals and go for it.

eh that's usually what they call a bitch....any woman that is confident and ambitious....

 

[heninrules]

she's only 20 isn't she???

so she has plenty of time to win a slam i mean she's already reached 3 slam finals at that age which suggests she'll reach many more in the future and there has to be a law of averages and she will win a slam despite her choking

 

[gentenaire]

eh that's usually what they call a bitch....any woman that is confident and ambitious....

You can be confident in a nice way, without being cocky.

 

[Rocketta]

You can be confident in a nice way, without being cocky.

hmm, maybe but can you be ambitious and not cocky is the question. I don't think so.

 

[Dawn Marie]

Rollo nice thread.


Kim has it in her as EVERY human does. She has to get in touch with her inner bitch and stop listening to the media and how she is so sugar and spice. THAT IS WHAT LITTLE GIRLS ARE MADE OF.

P.S. Kim has it in her. She is dating Lleyton afterall... you know she has gotta have some bitch in her.

Men and Women can be a bit bitchy sometimes.

 

[Fingon]

I don't think that being a bitch has anything to do with it, unless you mean something else.

Like everyone said, Steffi, Monica, Mary, Iva? they were hardly a bitch but they won GSs.

Novotna was a big bitch and she choked all the time, although she eventually won a Grand Slam.

Tauziat was one of the biggest bitches in tennis yet, she never won a Grand Slam.

The problem is how you raise to the occasion, it's not about being nice, or friendship (Kim used to beat Justine regularly, but now they are meeting in finals).

Serena's screams and looks may intimidate her opponents, but she doesn't win because of that, that probably pumps her up more than put the opponent down, it's her game and athleticsm what make the trick.

Venus? same thing, she is cold, distant, it can be intimidating but rather than hurting the opponent, it helps her to stay cool and concentrate in the match.

Justine?, well, you can only mention the hand IMO, the injuries time out thing was actually Kim being bitchy. And again, she doesn't win because of that, but because of her game and her attitude on court.

Venus has the game, Justine has the game, Serena has the game and... Kim has the game.

What's the difference? the first three raise to the occasion, they normally play better in big matches, Kim does the opposite, she overwhelmed by the event, she doesn't deliver.

That's what she needs to do, kicking somebody's bag won't help her tennis. She first needs to believe in herself, then forget she is # 1 and is playing a Grand Slam final, and just concentrate on every point, every shot, just like Justine, Venus and Serena and before them Steffi, Monica, Navratilova and many others.

It's not easy, but who said that winning a Grand Slam is easy?
