Right? Like what's she supposed to do, not win?? Tank every now & then? Or dominate like she's capable of doing?

There have been plenty of players with the skills & talent to dominate the game (Marat Safin comes to mind), but whether they have the will & work ethic to do so is another thing. Serena doesn't just roll out of bed and decide that she's going to win, she works HARD to improve her game and to be the best player she can be. This is the case for all top athletes. You can have all the natural talent in the world, but if you don't work hard at your craft, you won't be able to stay at the top for long. You'll also have to have the hunger & motivation to keep winning.

I'm not even a fan of Serena like that, but if you can't appreciate what she's doing right now, then you're truly clueless and is really taking her for granted.
