Serena tends toward the dramatic when she makes statements, hence the "wheelchair" comment, but to me that signaled that it was her intention to help the team out. However, she's never gotten through a Round Robin tournament, which is very tough mentally, emotionally and physically, let alone beat everyone in her path. I think it took a toll on...

She was fit enough to win 2/4 majors and what the WTA called...

And do you know why? Because outside of tennis die-hards like ourselves most people don't give a...
