Serena is center of attention Will she take on goal of being No. 1 again? Serena Williams has the talent to once again be the top player in women's tennis, but she needs the commitment to go along with that talent if she's to reach No. 1, says Tracy Austin of NBCSports.com. COMMENTARY By Tracy Austin NBC Sports Updated: 7:57 p.m. ET Dec. 20, 2004 Will there be a prize newcomer breaking through in 2005 like Maria Sharapova did in 2004 by winning Wimbledon and the year-end WTA Championships? I don't see that. But what I do see are a lot of questions over where the respective games of the top players are headed, and none of those questions is more intriguing than that dealing with Serena Williams' future. Ready　to rise? One of the hottest debated topics of the tennis offseason is will Serena find the right formula to once again dominate women's tennis in 2005? The only person who can answer that question is Serena. Her celebrity status has kept her busy with off-the-court activities, and on the court, injuries have been a factor. If she wants to recapture the No. 1 ranking, Serena must get on a committed and routine schedule with tennis and fitness as the primary focus. Being injury free is the key for Serena, and a great deal towards preventing injuries can come from making a year-long commitment to being in top shape physically. In my opinion, Serena could return to top, but it seems to me like there's an ebb and flow with her commitment to do so. Venus Williams Trying to decipher where Venus is at is tough as she had a 44-12 singles record in 2004, yet finished the year ranked No. 9. I think Venus has lost some confidence, and I think that her opponents are not fearful of her anymore. When Venus used to walk on the court to start a match, her opponents felt defeated. Now they know there are some chinks in Venus' armor, and she's not quite as confident as in the past. I still think Venus has more talent than is indicative of a No. 9 ranking, but there a few adjustments in her game that I would like to see her make for 2005. She needs to raise the consistency of her serve, and make it the nearly unbeatable weapon it was in her earlier seasons on the WTA tour. I would also like to see her forehand become more of a weapon, and the stride to be taken there is also one of improved consistency. -- ▋ 如果你突然打了個噴嚏。那一定就是我在想你。　　■ □ □■ ▋ 如果半夜被手機吵醒。啊那是因為我關心。 　　　　　　　 □□ 　　　　　王 ▋ 常常想你說的話。是不是別有用心。明明很想相信。卻又忍不住懷疑。 ‧　 心 │ ▋ 在你的心裡。我是否就是唯一。愛就是有我常煩著你　　。　　　　 . 　　 凌 │ ▋ Ho Baby　情話多說一點、想我就多看一眼、表現多一點點。讓我能真的看見　　 你 ▋Oh Bye　少說一點、想陪你不只一天多一點。讓我心甘情願愛你　　　　　　 ◢ 。 --
