    The last time Maria beat Serena at Wimbledon was, IIRC, 2004. Since then, she's had her arse handed to her by Serena 16 times. Since achieving his American marathon record (p.s., he finished SEVENTH), Ryan has won, what? A Rock n Roll half marathon or two?

    America needs more WINNERS, not more media hounds!

    So Sharapova hasn't done anything because she hasn't beaten Serena, possibly the greatest woman's tennis player ever?

    Don't take this the wrong way but...um...you're pretty much a boob.

    re: rojo

    With Sharapova's comment that you cite, it becomes clear that some people just don't have what it takes to be the best of all time, and that is the will to do everything that you can do to win. She can be a very good tennis player with some championships and tremendous endorsements, etc., just not a dominant player with 21 major singles titles, including four in a row. For some, that might be entirely legal, while for so many others that we have seen, that means doing all that AND doing all the gray-line and illegal stuff too.

  • A minor point, actually

    Lauren Fleshman - no major international titles. No podium finishes in major international competitions.

    I'm not disputing your main point. As you point out, there is no comparison between Sharapova's athletic successes and Lauren's. However, unless you mean "major international championships" when you say "major international competitions," you are wrong about Lauren.

    She is the first American to win a Diamond League 5,000. As of today, she's only one of two to do that.

    Again, I'm not disputing your point. It's obvious that Lauen did not have the successes in her career she hoped for.
