      One thing I’ve always loved so much about tennis is that managing one’s self is a major part of managing one’s game. Ms Venus exemplifies that classy aspect of the sport.

      @@VenusWilliams Well my current pet dislike in tennis is trying to play on an Astro Surface (SOFT SURFACE). It makes the ball feel dull and half dead on the strings. So the ball is hard to feel on this surface, but easy to feel on hardcourts. The heavy drag is also a problem.

    Venus is so warm and thoughtful. 😊I don't think I have ever seen her break a racquet. That is one aspect of her game that I don't believe gets enough credit. She is generally so calm and collected on the court. She is reminiscent of Chrissy, Steffi, and Monica in that aspect. (Though Monica wore her fire and competitiveness on her face, you never saw her explode with emotion.) I know some prefer the fiery personalities, but I appreciate the stoicism.

I always play with two balls I may pocket before I start a point (obviously no ball boys lol), incase I hit a let of an ace. If my opponent notices and then deliberately won't give me the third ball, that's drives me nuts 🙈

    I see Venus as an underdog. Always. She has played vs. More experienced, mature, hostile, racial animus, her sister, an illness and she always plays with grace, poise, dignity, and intelligence
    I am inspired to take lessons. I must satisfy the obsession which is clearly in my DNA. Thanks for inspiring me Venus!!!!

    Hi. This is really a great conversation. I wonder if there are protocols among players and WTA tour umpires. Like pros can't be too close with umpires or giving them gifts as friends to avoid being accused of biased judging during professional matches. Or pros and umpires can't be seen having meals or hanging out together. This might be an obvious question, just curious about some protocols or unwritten rules.... Amazing vlogs thank you so much 💚 .

    I think being cognizant of the ball kids or not says a lot about someone’s character. It reminds me of that 2015 match with Vinci in the semi’s of Wuhan. I understand being frustrated and instinctively wanting the play to go faster, but you shouldn’t do it at the expense of a ball kid. I would have been fined for cussing at Vinci lol. “He’s still running” is a lot nicer than what I would have told her 😂

When it's windy, they nearly have to chase it across the court after throwing it up, lol. But, for some reason, they seem to have good flat serves - maybe it's because they are forced to wsatch the ball so well because of the long flght time and potentioal for wind to affect the trajectory. Thoughts?

    Regarding the smashing of racquets - it depends on the person and situation for me. Context and regularity means a lot for me with this. There are countless kids (and adults) out there who would love to have a quality, precision piece of kit like a $400 racquet to play tennis with and I do hate the way some players just smash racquets over and over without seeming to give a toss about the waste. It isa definitely privilege and a sense of entitlement, and not a good example to be setting in te3rms of sportsmnship. But, if it's just once in a blue moon and in a REALLY huge moment, upsetting situation, terrible call - something like that, and it's someone like Federer or Venus who never do it, then I say whatever, let it go and move on - not worth mentnioning. Also, a lot of players, Nick Kyrgios is a noteworthy example, do a LOT of charity work for and with children, and by no means are neglecting to give back to society with the proceeds of their extreme goof fortune and luck and privilege at being able to play a sport for a living that earns them huge amount of money and allows them to see the world and live a very special kind of life. And so for Nick, it would be ignorant to say he should be giving his racquets to kids who don't have them when he smashes one - he goes way above and beyond in that area already. Djokovic smashes a lot of them, and has the attitude of a spoilt brat, and apparently thinks he's special and justified to put others at risk of COVID in order to do interviews or make money or attend PR revents, etc. When she smashes a racquet, I think he should be subject to having one smashed on his fact or crotch as punishment (his choice 🤪) - Just kidding, bnut I'm not a fan of Novak's.... lol
