Your body is a powerhouse of strength. Do you spend hours lifting weights in the gym?
I don’t think I’ve touched a weight in my life. I was at the gym the other day with my mum and I couldn’t lift the weights she lifted. My mum is stronger than I am.

why is she lying her ass off..?

its kinda sad, female tennis players always have to be skinny and beautiful and serena gets criticized like fukk


meanwhile a girl like bouchard has apparently visibly lost muscle mass this year and is getting pushed around in rallies as a result (according to the latest NCR ep), and you're seeing whats happening


better she secretly do it and lie than not do it at all

she may not lift much or at all. perhaps squats. calisthenics and conditioning are more important and many players just have body based functional strength that they have genetically and developed through childhood-nutrition.

i can barely lift at all (especially bench because my shoulders are shot)..but lower body weight and strength allows me (and serena) to propel into the shots more off the knee bend using momentum. people can lift over a 100 more than me but if i guard them in basketball i can move them around like nothing and beast them in the post because of center of gravity. i highly doubt serena wastes her time benching or doing other silly shyt that could injure her

He has enough

either Murray gets his third or Federer gets one more to secure his GOAT legacy

Naw Djokovic is the true goat

Besides nonstop NBA commercial breaks and flops, its hard to come up with something I hate more in sports than rainy Wimbledon weather.

@Liu Kang your boy Gasquet giving Stan a good match

Why was I thinking Cilic's game was big serve and heavy groundstrokes? He ain't doing any of that.

Oh man, did you see his semi vs Federer and final vs Nishikori? Holy fukk, he played flawless. Straight sets on both! Had many of us believing he sold his soul for two near perfect matches. Serve was on point, every time he came to the net he guessed right and made the right play. Lol he ain't ever winning another one now.

Wawrinka doesn't seem like he got the fitness but he stay grinding out five setters, lol.

Whoever said called this Gasquet vs Wawrinka backhand porn

Real talk, in tennis, what's fukking with a one-handed backhand ripping a down-the-line winner?
