Sissy, I am black. I have no reason to lie about my race, I'not like ashamed of it. I would like to see that comment you refer to!
And why as a black person I can't say other black people pull a race card??? I don't like when people do it as it puts the black race down. But I understand some people don't like when one criticises their own race. Well, I don't have problem with self-ciriticism, so if you have, you'd better sort it out.

You're not a black person @Marine, you're lying. I remember you in 'on the baseline tennis news' and you were blaming people playing the race card by saying things like 'you black people…'
what a liar you are, no shame

Nikki Day who are you to say who's important and who's not? A self-proclaimed god or something? Maybe in your feudal mind you aren't able to recognise all people have the same human value but that is your problem. Get help and most importantly, get lost!

I was also sad Justine didn't win. I think if everything went by the rules we might have seen other result. Those mysterious bad calls in the first set when she was getting a momentum going,a long bathroom break between second set she won and the last set (Serena's classic) have, well, swinged it a fair bit, let's put it that way. Anyway, I'm sure many top 20 players would happily swat that place with her. For me her performance means much more as she had a harder draw and had to grind it from the bottom without any ranking. Everything went quite fast for her but after a few tournaments she'll be back for the good and the better.

Serena shouldn't have to measure her words to people who would twist the truth anyways. Some of you need to realize you aren't that important. As it is someone from Serbia it doesn't surprise me.

Serena pulled out of the Open GDF SUEZ due to an injury – Please !!! She pulled out because she does not want to jeaopardize her chances of winning the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championship. Also, don't be surprised if she pulls out of the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open (May 10, 2010). Roland Garros starts on May 24, 2010 !!! In my opinion, Serena will be fortunate to win another grand slam this year. If Azarenka, Zvonareva, Henin, Clijsters, Kirilenko, Li Na, Stosur, even Sharapova can sustain that warrior spirit, and be consistent with their first serve (at least 65%), I believe we will see a different French, Wimbledon & US Open champion. Serena should take a page out of Venus' play book on graciousness and humility.

Race does play arole in the way Federer no.1 player and Serena no.1 player,she is not afforded the same standards.Federer is rude and disrespectful to his peers and gets away with it and Serena gets a lot if she doesnt say anything or when she says something.Federer used rude words to the umpire and got away with it,Djokovic smashes his rackets and the umpire says nothing and when Serena does it she gets a warning….double standards basesd on race and to a less extend on gender.
