She just knows what could've been

Between the mental health and being a baby mama to a fukking rapper, D list one at that, when you were #1 and the hottest topic in the sport at one point. It's eating her alive whatever it is is gone and she's not even 30

Her, Tiger, Serena really show how fragile a peak as an athlete can be. Yeah Tiger's wife was chasing him with some golf clubs, pick them shyts up nikka and get back to winning on Sunday. Except he never did. Serena cut her foot on some glass, she was just supposed to be out for a bit and she'd be fine, never came back as Serena. shyt's crazy


Comparing Tiger’s and Serena’s DECADE and change long run of dominance to Naomi is….a choice

Damn I didn’t even know she had broken down after the Roland Garros loss. I was actually proud of her for getting to the third round of Wimbledon

Naomi Holmes is undeniably flabby and sick :flabbynsick:

But if you concede as much lowkey this wasn't a bad result for her this tournament :manny: Especially considering all the top ten players that crashed out

Nastia's 34 and carrying a few extra lbs but she's no slouch, and even pre-baby she was always a hard court player

Again conceding that she's cooked, if she still getting some endorsement/appearance money she could do way worse than make the mid rounds at the majors and make runs at the 1000/500 level for a few years :ld:

She got a family to feed, only real things in the game are the money and the miles, brother

Yo you killed me with that Hollywood MJ smilie :mjlol:

For sure, I agree 100%. She's pretty much one and done in every tournament these days, so with that reset expectation I think getting to the third round is a good look. Grass has never been her strong suit so that was a decent look pre or post meltdowns either way.

She fell off a cliff after the Osaka Barbies were announced and the pressure of being the focal point of the Tokyo Olympics. Aside from just being hard on herself I would have thought she'd take this third round exit as something to build on. fukking Coco lost in the first round.

Tragic story. Her father should've been p*ssy monitoring her to ensure she didn't get knocked up. A lot of black pro athletes need more parents like Jayden Daniels momma keeping a close watch on them.

Also this is TLR so most of yall don't don't u understand how early a lot of tennis players fall off

Martina Hingis is an all time great who peaked at 21; Ash Barty is a recent great who retired at 26 etc

And most don’t rack up a couple dozen majors like Serena and the Big 3. Most players would be elated to win four.
