@@JamesFrew1 except no score which is just as bad

Lmaooo seriously!! I don’t know what’s going on half the time until the end cuz I can’t see anything 🤷🏾‍♂️

Dustin Gabe I’m aware, I remember the matches. Lindsay could have won more if she was mentally tougher for sure-but the biggest mental block she had was knowing she couldn’t get the free points that the Williams sisters could (aside from her 1-2 serve first shot punches) and couldn’t rely on her athletic ability to pull her out of tough matches. They kind of go hand and hand-she could have certainly been mentally tougher, but she would have been mentally tougher if she knew she had something to rely on other than her brilliant shots IF she was in position. All of her opponents knew to make her move, and if she wasn’t hitting brilliantly, Lindsay would immediately get down on herself knowing that her window was smaller than her best, more athletic opponents. Hantuchova, though a much lesser player, had a very similar problem. They were both accused of being mentally weak, but they were weak because they were acutely aware of their limitations.

@@JamesFrew1 that's debatable. Davenport was a very complete player, for sure, but she had flaws more than just mobility. Her hitting had such little margins (which was surprising considering how consistent she was). Her volleys were solid, but really conventional, and not good enough to block the net consecutively. Her timing got uncontrollably fast over long rallies against, say, Sanchez Vicario and Tauziat, causing her trying to hit faster and faster and eventually lose points. She had some nemises, most of them of the older generation, to struggle with all her career (Sanchez, Maleeva, Tauziat, Sabatini...). These were not the player to make her run.

@@peterzhou9267 sorry, but you’re way off and it’s not debatable. The players you mentioned like Sabatini did give Lindsay problems, but that was a very different player than the Lindsay here. Those players gave Lindsay problems because they took pace away from her and varied the ball a lot, and Lindsay wasn’t as consistent as she would later be. Sabatini in particular, who is my favorite player, would likely not get a set off of Lindsay in her prime.

Lindsey who?

@@peterzhou9267 I think your assessment is not accurate, she's a very clean striker and also a good volleyer, only a few women could volley better than her. That being said she was a slow mover so often late to the ball , which caused the errors you mentioned.

Lindsay had no mobility.

Venus was a beast before injuries and illness affected her smh.

@@cfhar080591 This Version Of Venus Is My Favorite Incarnation Of Venus Williams

@@futuregohan4837 She was amazing. I love Serena, but Venus' game is more beautiful to watch.

i always thought of her shots as a "thud".

tylerglenn I always thought that was the sound of her trying to run around the court 😂🥴😂

@@SuperiorLurking ha ha!!

Davenport's strings made a lot of noise I remember. I think she kept them more lose then other players.

That distinct sound from Davenport's racket was the result of the ball hitting the dead center of the strings the vast majority of the time.

Lol.🤣🤣🤣court was changed before Nadal won his 1st us open title.and Simona never reached final of Uso

Deepak Bharmoria I never said Simona did. I was just mentioning she’s the type of player that would be helped by these conditions. Fognini, Ferrer, etc.

Michael Page love and respect Venus , but this was 20years ago; that’s like double of some players careers! She still has a big game, but the other girls aren’t scared of playing her, and she doesn’t seem as confident on court as she did back then. All props to Venus and Serena for their love of the game after all they have achieved

@@chezchez2005 I don't think Venus or Serena are "scared" to play anyone or ever were. However nobody wants Serena or Venus in the first round of a Grand Slam. I think that would be a disappointing draw to any of the " other girls ". I still wouldn't be surprised if Venus Ebony Starr Williams shocks us all one more time. After all she is truly a Champion.

Michael Page I said the other girls aren’t scared of Venus, not vice versa. Back in her prime the other players did find her intimidating, but that is no longer the case. I think her best chance will be Wimbledon, she really should have picked her 6th title against Muguruza, but how many more chances will she have ?

@@chezchez2005 I don't know but you should because you say the " other girls " were scared back in the day like you know them and they told you. STOP assuming what is going on in their heads whether you think they are scared or not like you know them all first hand and they told you to tell me. That would be like me answering the question about how many chances Venus has left. I don't know. And you sure don't but seem to have all the 411 on what's in the mind of the WTA players and what they are feeling and thinking when playing against the great legend Venus Ebony Starr Williams.

Venus said Lindsay was her biggest rival other than Serena.

Between Davenport and Venus it was as much mental as it was physical, since they both matched up well against each other, each having complimentary strengths and weaknesses. Serena on the other hand was a much worse matchup for Davenport, since she not only moved better, but knew how to use angles to get Davenport off the court and expose her movement.

Lindsay started like an absolute steam train...some of the best tennis she's ever played. But Venus gradually reeled her in with her superior athleticism, and her superior toughness, frankly. Venus loved the hustle, Lindsay hated it.

Goes to show tennis is more mental than physical 🤷🏾‍♂️. Look at those 2 double faults Davenport hit to lose the first set! 😳

Lindsay always waste opportunities. She lost a match against Serena up 6-1 5-2 in 1998 Sydney

Venus was just the superior athlete, period.

@@QuatMan yup. Basically what I said.

@@pawshands9706 You said something about superior strike zones. I was just cleaning it up a bit.

@@QuatMan by superior, I meant Lindsey had the cleanest strike zone of those days. Nothing to tidy up. Just the facts. Venus was just superior at chasing everything Lindsey threw at her. Just facts.

@@pawshands9706 Looked to me like both players chased balls that were hit in their direction because that is what tennis is. Venus won because she was / is a better tennis player than Davenport ( which is why the world still knows who Venus is, and people who watch tennis know who Davenport is). Guess that is why she has twice as many Grand Slam titles as Davenport...

Why? Was it planned that way? Do you know something we don't? Shoulda Coulda Woulda

@@MICHAEL1269. She was up a double break 4-1 - she should have put that first set away, but didn't. Venus was able to pull it off.

@@davidforrest5246 I know I love it! It's never over until it's over. Venus was on fire.🔥💥

Lindsay ''isn't a great mover''. But she won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open So, nope. She plays.

Easier said than done though.

What happened?

Not true. Davenport dislikes the Williams Sisters because of those losses...

They sound like hyenas!

Yeah, you can hear the disappointment when Venus wins a good rally or point 😂
