:whoa: the talent pool was WAY better when Serena won her 1st slam

1999 US Open

Had to beat, Clijsters (future slam winner), Martinez (won Wimbledon in 94), Seles (9 time slam winner), Davenport (3 time slam winner), then Hingis (5 time slam winner) :damn:

Seles wasn't was she once was at that time. Hingis was on the down swing. Davenport was getting into her prime. That pool was talented but a lot of them was getting :flabbynsick: Serena and Venus was taking over.

This is a hell of a match. I don't think Serena faced someone with this speed since Chanda and a prime Hingis.

A 17 Serena didn't have to face an unstoppable 31 Serena with a killer serve. :why:

yea Seles wasn't the same after getting knifed up but the talent pool was still better than it is now.

Anyway....

Glad Sloane staying aggressive. I was afraid she'd start pushing
