Tired of watching the Williams sisters?

I know they're biased and all on ESPN but c'mon. Are either of them in the top 30 anymore? One is a slob the other is consistantly inconsistant.

This ain't 2000, the Americans are gonna have to get over the fact that they aren't doing jack shit with tennis anymore.

I also gotta say I'm tired of seeing their parents too.

Richard, the old man, always has an excuse for his daughter(s).

LOL Buck. So true buddy. I've been sick of the whole family for sometime now. US Tennis as a whole is atrocious right now.

By 'the Americans' I meant the Williams sisters Tommy.

Althought I can agree with the overall statement as well. Andy & James are good though, I won't discredit them.

Buckery, you really think the Williams sisters are overrated? Serena just won the Aussie Open and dominated everyone in her way. At the French Open she lost to maybe the best female player to ever play on clay in Justine Henin. There is no shame in that. Now at Wimbledon she is back to kickin more ass. The only player that can get in her way is Justine. That is quietly becoming the best rivalry in the women's game. Serena is still one of the top 3 best players in the WTA.

Venus is not as good as Serena but she is still a top 10 player. She has plenty of power and moves well. I do not think she is out of the top 30 and she is still a dangerous player on the tour. She is only a couple years removed from beating Lindsey Davenport at the Wimbledon finals.

If you want to talk overrated I think you should look no further than Andy Roddick. What has he ever done? He won the U.S. Open four years ago and that is it. He does have an amazing serve but not a lot of baseline to baseline game. And he is pretty much non existent on clay surface. Don't get me wrong, I think Andy is a very good player but not as good as he is made out to be.

Go James Blake!!!!!!!!!
