I don’t have many thoughts,” Williams told reporters in Spain after defeating Lourdes Dominguez Lino 6-2, 7-5 in the second round of the Madrid Open, answering the one question posed to her about Stephens. “I’m a big Sloane Stephens fan and always have been. I’ve always said that I think she can be the best in the world.

She boasted after the Open about how easy it was to get to the semi finals yet since then cannot come out of the first round of other events. If she was so "honest and nice" after winning she should have said, "today I won against a wounded champ, I cannot wait to meet her again when we are both at our optimum health." I guarantee you Sloane will never win a grand slam she has brought bad aura to herself by demeaning a fellow player and she has only proven herself to be the stereotype of the bitchy, jealous, angry black woman.</p></p> </div> </section> <footer class="fyre-comment-footer"> </footer> </div> <div class="fyre-comment-divider"><div class="fyre-comment-divider"></div></div> <div class="fyre-comment-replies fyre-comment-container fyre-comment-replies-indent"> </div> </article> <article class="fyre-comment-article"> <div class="fyre-comment-wrapper"> <div class="fyre-comment-user"> <a class="fyre-comment-author"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606222850im_/http://avatars.fyre.co/a/158/a0b0ef36bf727f87122a05a8920c4320/50.jpg?v=1366749182" class="fyre-user-avatar" alt="TonyC1"/></a> <div class="fyre-comment-socialsync fyre-comment-from-livefyre"></div> </div> <header class="fyre-comment-head"> <a class="fyre-comment-username">TonyC1</a> <span class="fyre-comment-user-rating" style="display: none;">5pts</span> <span class="fyre-comment-like" style="float: right;"> </span> </header> <section class="fyre-comment-body"> <div class="fyre-comment"> <p><p>It's refreshing to hear someone honestly speak up...Good Job Sloane!

First, if she was so honest she would say what she had to say to Serena and since she chose to say it to the media, why did it need to be "off the record?" Second, if she is so honest why back pedal and blame the journalist for what she can't own up to.

Guess an amazon like Serena who is about 6' tall or more intimidates you. She'd probably send each of you right unto your tookus with just a flick of her elbow! And by the way, fellas, Serena WON AGAIN. Took the trophy in the Italian open and beat Azarenka. As long as that gal has the power to chase down the shots the way she does & rams those aces down her opponents' throats, you two should keep your mouths and your keyboards off Serena. She's the ONLY one who is keeping American tennis in the limelight. Obviously, Sloane Stephens can't do it. She again got her butt handed to her 6-2, 6-1, this time by Sharapova, before Sharapova withdrew from the rest of the match because of "illness." Yup. Illness at the thought of facing Serena again.

Have you even read my comments? Or did you intend to comment to someone else!! If you think for one moment I am anti-Serena Stevens, you are way off base. I think that gal is terrific and said so several times. I simply don't like the childish antics of Sloane Stephens, that' all! She is 20 and it's time she grew up and acted professionally. </p></p> </div> </section> <footer class="fyre-comment-footer"> </footer> </div> <div class="fyre-comment-divider"><div class="fyre-comment-divider"></div></div> <div class="fyre-comment-replies fyre-comment-container fyre-comment-replies-indent"> </div> </article> <article class="fyre-comment-article"> <div class="fyre-comment-wrapper"> <div class="fyre-comment-user"> <a class="fyre-comment-author"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606222850im_/http://avatars.fyre.co/a/158/963074412541365db5280409d1fbf863/50.jpg?v=1369575171" class="fyre-user-avatar" alt="Hollistics"/></a> <div class="fyre-comment-socialsync fyre-comment-from-livefyre"></div> </div> <header class="fyre-comment-head"> <a class="fyre-comment-username">Hollistics</a> <span class="fyre-comment-user-rating" style="display: none;">5pts</span> <span class="fyre-comment-like" style="float: right;"> </span> </header> <section class="fyre-comment-body"> <div class="fyre-comment"> <p><p> <a vocab="http://schema.org" typeof="Person" rel="nofollow" resource="acct:5176eff2bb9fd92fb3000f5e@sportsillustrated.fyre.co" data-lf-handle="" data-lf-provider="livefyre" property="url" target="_blank" class="fyre-mention fyre-mention-livefyre fyre-mention-reply">@<span property="name">TonyC1</span></a> <a vocab="http://schema.org" typeof="Person" rel="nofollow" resource="acct:5185dd11ae6f042aac000e8c@sportsillustrated.fyre.co" data-lf-handle="" data-lf-provider="livefyre" property="url" target="_blank" class="fyre-mention fyre-mention-livefyre fyre-mention-reply">@<span property="name">tennisfan#1</span></a> <a vocab="http://schema.org" typeof="Person" rel="nofollow" resource="acct:519729f2bb9fd9371f0007ee@sportsillustrated.fyre.co" data-lf-handle="" data-lf-provider="livefyre" property="url" target="_blank" class="fyre-mention fyre-mention-livefyre fyre-mention-reply">@<span property="name">Tabby388</span></a> <a vocab="http://schema.org" typeof="Person" rel="nofollow" resource="acct:5018533677eb9922c40001a7@sportsillustrated.fyre.co" data-lf-handle="" data-lf-provider="livefyre" property="url" target="_blank" class="fyre-mention fyre-mention-livefyre fyre-mention-reply">@<span property="name">stashu</span></a> </p> <p>We think you are a non-achiever who lacks the confidence to speak in public.

But at least she played through Madrid and didn't complain afterwards. She seemed to play good in Rome to a point anyway.

I think the illness is called the Serena beat-down. She caught it last week and felt it coming on again this week.</p> <p>Obviously, based on the Serena's results this week in Rome, Maria did the right thing. Great strategy. At least now she can go in to the FO assuming she would have lost instead of playing and KNOWING she had lost.</p></p> </div> </section> <footer class="fyre-comment-footer"> </footer> </div> <div class="fyre-comment-divider"><div class="fyre-comment-divider"></div></div> <div class="fyre-comment-replies fyre-comment-container fyre-comment-replies-indent"> </div> </article> </div> </article> <article class="fyre-comment-article"> <div class="fyre-comment-wrapper"> <div class="fyre-comment-user"> <a class="fyre-comment-author"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606222850im_/http://avatars.fyre.co/a/158/9febe20990be795be9552520e47ac2d7/50.jpg?v=1368943762" class="fyre-user-avatar" alt="T.W.17227"/></a> <div class="fyre-comment-socialsync fyre-comment-from-livefyre"></div> </div> <header class="fyre-comment-head"> <a class="fyre-comment-username">T.W.17227</a> <span class="fyre-comment-user-rating" style="display: none;">5pts</span> <span class="fyre-comment-like" style="float: right;"> <span class="fyre-comment-like-imgs"> <span class="fyre-avatar"> <a><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606222850im_/http://avatars.fyre.co/a/158/2b4065c8ab95a044ddfd1aeec5d6ab7d/50.jpg" alt="like.author.displayName"/></a> </span> <span class="fyre-avatar"> <a><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606222850im_/http://avatars.fyre.co/a/158/9585996e453f5b5feb803873c285fa5a/50.jpg?v=1369686948" alt="like.author.displayName"/></a> </span> </span> <span class="fyre-comment-like-count">2 Like</span> </span> </header> <section class="fyre-comment-body"> <div class="fyre-comment"> <p><p> <a vocab="http://schema.org" typeof="Person" rel="nofollow" resource="acct:5176eff2bb9fd92fb3000f5e@sportsillustrated.fyre.co" data-lf-handle="" data-lf-provider="livefyre" property="url" target="_blank" class="fyre-mention fyre-mention-livefyre fyre-mention-reply">@<span property="name">TonyC1</span></a> I thought you were the sage who said Maria was gonna win Madrid?
