Behind the Screen: Tennis

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I honestly believed if she stayed healthy she could've won all 4 slams this year...

^ I'm so upset!!! I honestly believed if she stayed healthy she could've won all 4 slams this year! Oh well, can't change that she hurt her ankle first round and tweaked her back in the 2nd set of this loss...Love Sloane though and glad she made it this far!! Beat Vika!! I'm rooting for: Sloane, Li, Azarenka, then Sharapova. Murray, Djokovic, Federer, Ferrer. (want Murray and Djokovic to meet in the final) Bryan/Bryan over Haase/Sijsling. Dellacqua/Barty over Errani/Vinci. (though in this one I'll be happy with either) Ebden/Gajdasova, then Bryan/Mirza.

Dang a year and a half since the last post...guess Vevmo isn't very sports oriented (well definitely not tennis) lol...... But I have been shocked by Serena's slam performances this year, 4th, 2nd, 3rd round exits? Let's shut up all the doubters and win the US Open please!!!

Not a Serena fan but even I'd like to see her have a good run at the US Open. Not win but an appearance in the semis or finals would be nice.

Fair enough...at the very least it would be nice to see the world number 1 make it far in the most important tourneys of the year. So do you root for anyone in particular?

I really liked Venus but obviously she's not the same player she used to me. I was a big fan of Kim Clijsters. Li Na is someone I actively root for. I had high hopes for Sloane Stephens but she's slipped a bit recently--plenty of time to fix that. Simona Halep has impressed me recently. The women's side is better IMO. The men's side is pretty much 4 guys and everyone else.

Yes I love Venus still! Don't expect her to win another grand slam title, but love her fight. She is inspirational. I enjoy Li Na and Halep too. Just wish Na was a little more consistent! I love Madison Keys' raw power!!!! Yes the men is pretty set, but I feel recently (and slowly) the young guns are starting to make some noise. I like seeing some upsets on the men's side.

Ahhhhhh unfortunately I am not a huge fan. I don't know what it is about her, I just don't like the vibe I get. But very solid and impressive game. I do love Vasek though :love_heart: he is such a sweetheart.

I was never good at tennis though. Sort of like Serena the other month.

Genie might be losing her tennis matches, but she surely is top in this category:
