I would love to see Serena play Martina in her prime. That would be a match for the ages.

Of course, such a match can never be. But what a match it would be! Unquestionably the two best women's tennis players facing off. Just thinking of it gives me chills.

that would be hard to call the winner. Serena the big serve & power game and Martina with the finesse serve & volley game.

I don't think she could be competitive with Serena.

Graf or Seles, that's a different story.

Graf is the second best female tennis player of all time IMO.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah this should piss off the Con.

https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/09/04/tom-brady-likes-colin-kaepernick-nike-advertisement-instagram/

BOSTON (CBS) — Nike’s latest advertisement featuring Colin Kaepernick has sparked a lot of debate and controversy around the sports world and the country at large. And while seemingly everybody has an opinion one way or another, the quarterback of the Patriots is apparently backing the message behind Kaepernick.

An active Instagram user, Brady double-tapped the screen when he saw the account for GQ Magazine share the Nike ad, which features Kaepernick’s face and includes the words, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”
