ever consider that she may workout? I believe professional tennis players get tested.....ask Cilic about that.

Geez - Serena Williams has always had a muscular build, even when she was still a teenager. She's a top level athlete and probably trains all the time. Can we keep what she looks like out of the discussion about her tennis play?

Although no real interest in the result, look forward to the contrast in styles in today's final.
Cilic, the monster who has been bombing his opponents out of the way having stepped up his serve to another level, and the incredible speed, fitness, retrieving ability and all round game of Nishikori.
With no disrespect to the 2 players, both probably have to take this likely only opportunity to win a Slam (although I can see Kei doing a Lleyton Hewitt style of run for a while, Cilic probably not).

That's interesting. I think you're right if she was ever caught it would tarnish the history books forever. My mind is made up; she's a juicer IMO.

It's relevant to the discussion.

I don't really like Serena but she is clearly better than most of the other women, and she doesn't have to dope to be good. Watch it before you accuse players of cheating. Just makes you look like a classless jerk.

With the grueling schedule they play, it's idiocy to think it's not rampant.
Hmm so exactly how are you an expert? Ask Gasquet, Cilic and Troicki about nobody caring about drugs in tennis.

Really?


It's pretty evident that her arms are larger than pretty much all of her opponents - even larger than quite a few of the smaller men on the ATP. Moreover, they are markedly larger than any female even close to that.



And so what if men have got caught? Serena is their gravy train and they wouldn't even want to catch her.

Cilic up 2 sets to love, a hard road back for Nishikori from here.

This may shock you but not all people have the same body type and some are more capable of building muscle mass than others. Surprising right??

As another poster mentioned, Serena has been muscular since forever, so according to you she was doping when she was a kid, I guess.

I think you need to get over yourself though, you seem kind of obsessed with her.

Was Cilic even in the top 10, outside the Big 4, most likely to win the next Grand Slam two weeks ago?
