It would be more incredible if Serena (most likely, in my opinion) wouldn't have taken some sort of HGH.

Venus is the more incredible story in my opinion.

People have accused Venus too.

Little sister won easily tonight, no surprise.

Woman's sports for some reason allow for women of an advanced age to still dominate more than men in men's sports.....imo..

Funny I think the opposite is true -- in swimming and gymnastics and figure skating, for example, teenage girls usually dominate.

Yeah I'm with Pete on this one. Name all the Dominant women's tennis players over 32. I;m pretty sure the list is Serena. I was thinking Navratilova, but she only won one major after 32.

And in tennis, on the men's side you have Federer still winning majors at 37. Jake, no clue what you are talking about here. What sports did you have in mind exactly where women are better at an older age?

They have, but I think it's a weaker accusation. Look at her physical progression vs. Serena's. Night and day. If anything, Venus took some sort of HGH/steroid to combat the medical condition(s) she's dealt with.

Definitely agree. Behind Serena, there is an incredible amount of parity in women's tennis because the next crop of younger girls keep coming year after year. Sloane Stephens because the most recent up-and-comer that I can think of on the American side, with other, younger international players having an equal amount if not more success.

Women's golf has even had a lot of parody.
