Okay. I'll say it because I'm a fan and I can get away with it.

Venus' forehand can be painful to watch. Even when she gets a good solid strike on the ball, the positioning of her arms and shoulders is uncomfortable... And when she's also falling backwards, well, that's when people can get hurt.

But I still love her even with her flaws.

I'll say it too. Her shots are fug. If she wasn't so athletic she would never be able to be as successful as she's been. I can't think of one technical aspect of her game that I would recommend to a player except MAYBE her forehand volley. And that's a big maybe.
