If Roger wins it'll be his 80th title.  |
Oop that ban was such BS  . But thanks 
Yeah it honestly depends on Venus. Aga, good or bad, will be making less than 10 UEs the match but if she's hit off the court then it won't matter how few she's making.
And Fed needs to end the year number 1, I can't STAND Djokovic

Just pretending that whenever Venus won they were both peaking just makes you look like a moron. |
Peak Venus > Peak Serena. Simple as that. RatedG agrees with me
My faves?  Excuse you, my all-time favorite Roger Federer holds the most grand slam titles in the Open Era, Edberg an all-time great with 6 grand slams, and Venus is an all-time great with 7 slams, Hingis an all-time great with 5 slams, Vika has won 2, Maria 5, not to mention Steffi, who holds the 2nd most grand slam titles ever, more than Serena 
Delusion is to Waffles as is today's ass-whooping to Serena -- all to REAL

Stanning athletes who have not been relevant in your adult life only proves that you only stan them to offset your flops

Exactly! I can't even bring myself to think of the Wimbledon final, let alone the 2010 and 2011 US Open finals. Happier thoughts: FO 2011 and Wimbledon 2012 Not to mention the 2007-2008 Open beatdowns
Federer was so close in 2012, too He better redeem himself and reclaim the No. 1 crown.

Roger Federer, Venus, Vika, and Maria have all won multiple slams in the past decade. Do you seriously think Roger Federer is a flop?

It is easy to LIE and SAY you are a stan.
Stanning is a behavior, which you have shown none of. All you show is pathetic bitterness 24/7.

No
In order: Federer, Venus, Vika, Sharapova
Then there are the players I like but haven't put much emotional investment into because I can't afford it : Wawrinka, Ferrer, Hewitt, Wozniacki, Jankovic, Ivanovic, Cornet

Peak Venus > Peak Serena?
Now I luh Venus, but she's local to Wimbledon and Serena is up there with the goats. I root against her in some matches, but to say otherwise is entirely delusional.

Peak Venus > Peak Serena
BUT as a tennis player, it's more about winning when you're NOT at your peak. Serena has still managed to win with her B and C level game, which is more important than winning when at your peak game-wise, because you won't always be able to summon your peak. That is why Serena has been more successful, her 75% game is better than Venus's. (Not to mention Sjoergens, etc)
But still, peak Vee > Serena

The results don't lie, peak Serena was much more dominant on all surfaces.
I would trade their success in a heartbeat though, always enjoyable watching Venus and she often plays in the best matches at Wimby (that gorgeous fight with Date Krumm, for instance).

A modern classic, tbh  Should've been a final, so it wouldn't be relatively forgotten
