Did the Williams sisters start a whole new level of Women's tennis?

Question

Chris Everett, Billy Jean King, Evonne Guligong could not compete at today's level.

Answer 1

yeah which is why they dominated for so many years, the other women players needed time to adapt and change their game.

Answer 2

yes, they made it more physical and powerful...

Answer 3

no doubt serena and venus brought the women's tennis to a higher notch but it is also in the same way at the realm of sportsmanship. it would have been better if they brought power and skills in the game but also along with the attitude that younger generations might emulate. they are not just players but also role models. i want to teach my daughter, not just to play like them but also to behave on and off the court like them.  this is the reason people are just annoyed with them despite of their successes. not giving credits to the winner, ungratefulness and self-centeredness are also the trappings of their games. i wish that they will show some changes as they are heading towards the sunset of their careers. most especially serena.

Answer 4

Definitely! Serena and Venus introduced so many things to tennis world since the 1st time they join the tour, and commonly it's called power full tennis. Huge serve, powerfull swing forehand, or incredible athletism on court are few things they have changed on tour. And they tend to make other players who play againts them to play much better, and cross their limit. It created a huge improvement and varieties in women tennis. No matter whom they play to, every match includes one of them will be a great match to watch. And I truly believe, it's every woman tennis player's dream to beat them, even just for once!

Answer 5

Yes they absolutely did. They are sooooooo strong ! You're right, Chris,Billy Jean and Evonne etc... could NEVER compete at today's level ! Now they are too strong. Women now are the strongest ever,it's unbelievable !

I don't know why ppl criticize Serena and Venus but i think THEY changed women's tennis.THEY are the strongest even though they aren't top seeded.

Whaddaya think?

Answer 6

they def. did ! there is soo much more power in the game. They have the fastest/most powerful serves in womens tennis !

Answer 7

I personally do not think so...

Although the likes of Nadal, Sharapova, Williams sisters have been pretty successful because of their power... tennis is really more than that...

I do not think that power alone makes a tennis player... here are the players who i think deserve more recognition because of their genius on the court - Federer, Hingis, Graf, Agassi.

... And no... the Williams sisters would not stand a chance against Evert, Navratilova, Hingis and Graf on their prime .

Answer 8

Of course,

They play in my view the most powerful womans tennis!!

Espically thier fast serves
