This is sad

Of course, Serena would probably be the best ever anyway... but is it really possible, in the year 2015, that the reason she has so little competition is that many of her best potential competitors are too concerned about their body image to build the necessary strength?

"It’s our decision to keep her as the smallest player in the top 10," said Tomasz Wiktorowski, the coach of Agnieszka Radwanska, who is listed at 5 feet 8 and 123 pounds. "Because, first of all she’s a woman, and she wants to be a woman."

Then again, money talks. "Maria Sharapova, a slender, blond Russian who has been the highest-paid female athlete for more than a decade because of her lucrative endorsements, said she still wished she could be thinner."

For my part, I think Serena looks pretty damn womanly. In a scary way.
