When the haters say you should retire
Pulling for Venus over Serena b/c she's never won in Oz. Serena will get 23 b/t now and 2019 easily, but Venus may never have another shot. But don't think Serena is going to roll over or let her win. Serena will push a crippled bytch down a flight of stairs to beat her to the bottom.
Also I'm shocked they're 35 and 36. Usually in tennis, female players hit their peak at in their mid 20s and retire by early 30s. At least back when I really use to be a tennis head.
They have a lot more years over their contemporaries b/c they didn't play the junior circuit. Also, V &S had some REAL competition back in the day. We're talking about the last great era of women's tennis - Davenport, Henin (that fukking Henin!!!), Clijsters, Hingis, and so on. So they learned how to compete at the elite level. Remember that crazy era when we had #1s who hadn't even won a Grand Slam?
