With what positive aspects do the Williams sisters endow the game of tennis?

Question

By killing the charm and grace of the womens' game we are all well aware of their negative influence.

The father of this rather unattractive duo clearly trained his daughters to power their opponents into submission and, thereby, ensure that their influence would remain forever negative.

As for their grotesque ' fashion statements' I think the less said the better.

Answer 1

I love the William Sisters game.  I find it thrilling to watch them play since they bring drama 70% of the time they play.  They're like gladiators out there on the court.  I don't really pay much attention to their father's comments since he isn't the one holding the racquet and playing for them.

Answer 2

Can u mention just one of the 'negative' influences they have brought to tennis.NO, don mention the 'power hitting' bcoz new technology brought that up and even before they got into the scene female players were already starting to play power tennis.

Why is it so hard to embrace the girls that brought so much to tennis? I'm trying very hard here not to play the 'race card'. but maybe it could just as well be the reason for ur far-fetched, uncalled-for jabberings about the Williams sisters.

One thing though: No matter what people say about them, those girls can play tennis.(14 grand slams single title between them says it all). Deal with it.

Answer 3

Thank you everyone above me for answering this unbelieveably ridiculous question this guy just asked. Might I add that you sir do not go out there and pick up their raquets and win those 14 grandslams they share and face harsh criticism no matter how much success you have so you really have absolutely no right to make any judgments about them. Those girls have worked very hard to get where they are and they deserve each and every ounce of respect they get. I've been a fan of theirs since they first began playing and I will be until the day they retire. You can't deny those girls can play some tennis, and when there in top form there unbeatable. They've had ups and downs but there still here and they'll never go away whether you like it or not. Shame on you for even making such a disrespectful comment.

Answer 4

Everyone took the words right out of my mouth. All I have to add is that saying, "The Williams sisters have an advantage or that it's unfair because they're more powerful." Well That's the Game. Its pro tennis, anyone can come out and play. ANYONE. It's the Open Era buddy. OPEN UP.

Answer 5

Thank you Pablo, Rafa, Michael N., and Ben O.  I really wanted to say something stupid to this lowlife question, but you All make him look stupid.  

Maybe their fashion choices don't suit you;  Braveheart, but, do you have a clothing line out anywhere, interior design company?  And please note........women's tennis would not even be watched on television if it wasn't for the Williams sisters.  Especially by black people.

Oh yeah.  Don't even go there on that statement though.  I would stay up to watch Justine, Lindsay, Kim and those of yesteryear.

Answer 6

Somebody else sed exactly the same thing I thought soon's I seen this question: I LUV TO SEE THE WILLIAMS SISTERS PLAY!!!

Yeah. They are graceful. They are good looking. They have a dynamite game. They are the best thing in a sport that makes women athletes look elegant and powerful.

There are a lot of beautiful women in tennis, but the Wms sisters are my favorites.

Answer 7

power, charsima....athleticism star power

Answer 8

"...killing the charm and grace of the women's game..."

My first statement in response to your ridiculous claim after quoting above the first blatant error in you statement, is that the Williams Sisters are two of the most brilliant tacticians to play tennis in the last few years: with their powerful ground-strokes, but also their often wonderful volleying (and so by extension grace); they bring to the sport a variety that is lacking in the game of the present women's world number one for example.

      As for their so called "...negative influence", Serena and Venus are two of the most remarkably strong minded people on the women's tour, and if that to you renders their influence on the game "...forever negative" because they are able to remain focused unlike those of a weak minded disposition, then I would encourage you to keep Your NEGATIVE opinions about the multiple grand slam champions to yourself.

       Also, your statement is offensive in the extreme to the Williams Sisters; they may have an outspoken father who's own opinions, like your own, border often upon the grotesque, but they do have feelings and your comments about them and their father are horrible. Would you yourself like it if someone whom you had never met insulted you, one of your siblings, and your father; I think not.

Answer 9

I'm not a Wiliams sisters fan, but I must say one thing's for sure, they have proven that they can bounce back from adversity, and they seem to do it again and again.
