[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What consistently amazes me about Serena is her mental fortitude. It seems like other players around her age were mentally done with the game by this point in their careers and retired. Or they had to retire because of injuries.

Serena just keeps going. She gets injured - comes back just as strong. She never stops.

I understand why people criticize her dad, but he must have done something right (along with the whole family) to keep her and to a lesser extent Venus, playing top level tennis for such a long time without suffering burn out.[/quote]

Serena and Venus often credit their longevity to the fact that their dad didn't let them play juniors and hand picked the early tournaments they would participate in.  I'm just so happy they are still playing. Venus may not be winning Slams anymore, but she is still playing at a competitive level.  Serena is just out of this world.  I was glued to the screen last night.  Halep played well, but there was nothing she could do once Serena got dialed in.[/quote]
