CANDIDS: FIRST LADY HOSTS U.S. OPEN TENNIS CLINIC, PLAYS AGAINST SERENA WILLIAMS

September 10th, 2011

After hustlin’ and bustin’ splits on the tennis court, while serving the tennis balls at lightning speed, Serena Williams is making a strong comeback! After suffering from an ankle/foot injury late last year, Serena has been dominating the courts at this year’s U.S. Open.

On Thursday, Serena made the cut for the major tournament’s semi-finals round after a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The next day, the First Lady, Michelle Obama payed a visit to the U.S. Open for the first time with some kids in conjunction with her Let’s Move! campaign against childhood obesity.

After playing a round against Serena Williams, Mrs. Obama addressed the group of young kids at her tennis clinic and admitted her love for tennis even though she may not be the best player:

“I’m not really good or anything like that. That’s the beauty of tennis,” she said. “You don’t have to be good to enjoy it. I love the game, and my skills are very questionable.”

She ended her little talk with the kids by adding that tennis is “a sport you can do forever.” [Source]

Update: **Serena Williams will be playing against Caroline Wozniacki during the U.S. Open Semi-Finals on Saturday evening (Sept 10). Best of luck to her!

      It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn’t love you were in. There are no ‘exit’ signs in love, there is only an ‘on’ ramp. (( H_o_t_B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se’rvice. You may have a try… ;)

      thanks for reading

    LMAO @ the beast, Serena, playing with claws & a dry crunchy wig. She knows she is hot & sweaty. Michelle is a joke & I hope this was televised so I can get a good laugh. First, she aligns herself with Beyonce, now this man?

      You wrong for that comment. Michelle is working a program called “lets move” for americas youth. This not even about her nor Serena, she’s just going out to partner with a lot of todays top role models that kids look up to for support and Beyonce and Serena are who a lot of kids look up to.

      Of course this FOOL of a TROLL is always talking shit to get sexual satifaction behind the computer, just ignore this fat he/she!!!! LMAO. As usual always looking a idiot on CL LMAO!!! Good Michelle and Serena is supporting each other especially helping kids to eat right, not like this FAT MORON here. What you need to do is go to weight watchers and a mental doctor to give you a brain to make you smart TROLL, GOOD NITE!!!!

      Being one of the most powerful, if not most influential black woman of our time, (aside from Oprah, lol) why wouldn’t she align herself with two powerful black women both dominating in their fields. Whats funny about that, where is the joke? Because I defintely dont see it, the only “joke” I see is “you”.

    Good for them-trying to promote a healthy lifestyle. Any activity that can burn off all of the processed food is good. Serena—smh
