That face! She has so little affect, anyway, and the look on her face when the racquet head flew off was just priceless.<br /><br />I caught the lack of reference to Safina's back, too, and I found it puzzling. Her back went out more than once, she missed months of play, and was even told her career might be over--nothing relevant or worth mentioning, of course. Or at least, not for ESPN.<br /><br />As for Serena--to me--it doesn't matter. Because whatever happened with the glass and the bottle in the restaurant in Germany--it would have been reported wrong, anyway. It's obvious that her people mismanaged the information, and I suspect there was some embarrassment involved, too. I guess it just irritates me that a group of people notorious for <i>creating</i> a "big cloud" keep complaining about one.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-19748076975426812372011-01-18T06:13:36.047-06:002011-01-18T06:13:36.047-06:00The story about Serena being hit by a thrown bottl...The story about Serena being hit by a thrown bottle was an early rumor, possibly based on Serena's publicist's incredibly vague statement that she was cut by glass but she didn't step on it. Serena herself later said that she DID step on glass, and claimed implausibly that she didn't even realize it until she saw blood:<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/brennan/2010-09-01-serena-williams-reveals_N.htm<br /><br />The fact that no independent witnesses have appeared is puzzling, given the claim that the injury supposedly happened in a crowded public place. There's also the question of why Serena played an exhibition match after sustaining the injury. And the question of why a professional athlete would be dumb enough to walk around in a crowded, dark, unfamiliar public place while wearing sandals.<br /><br />The various stories are vague, inconsistent, and ultimately don't make sense. This suggests to many of us that Serena has something to hide.Fog Mountainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-63720832415785142952011-01-18T02:20:17.626-06:002011-01-18T02:20:17.626-06:00Hahaha!

Listening to ESPN you...^^Svente beat me to it. <br /><br />Listening to ESPN you'd think Dinara just escaped from a mental health facility.

I don't have tennis channel so I'm watching on espn and McEnroe was just talking about Safina and how she's such an emotional mess and can't win bc of her mental health issues without bothering to mention her chronic back issues. <br /><br />I know she's had her mental toughness tested and has fallen at times bc of it (love "thrill ride" by the way!) but come on. This past year's fall has not been just about her mental fortitude.<br /><br />Those ladies.
