Opponents of the Favorites

Opponents of the favorites Have a handicap, for sure, Since every error that they make Just sets the crowd a’roar. In tennis, fans are loyal, Cheering those they love the best, Which makes players ‘cross the net Feel kind of down and even stressed. As I watched the U.S.Open, When Serena took the court, I felt bad for those who faced her, Getting zero crowd support.

I wonder what she'll do now that she's retired...or at least announced her retirement. Tennis was never my game, and I find it about as interesting to watch as golf...or bowling.

No surprise here as we all knew what you would be doing when Serena took the court! But all good things come to an end? Enjoyed, Ilene! Aloha!

Nice one, Ilene. I'm not a big fan of professional tennis, but one has to admire Serena! It's a tough game. I played myself until my bad heart nixed the game for me. Enjoyed this.
