That would limit their effectiveness on court as a result.

Think that plays a big part. The fact that her dominance is more due to her physical talents, and less about her technical skill plays a part. Federer was dominant because he was so much better technically, Serena is just physically dominant.
That then plays into her terrible attitude, which makes her come off as the big mean bully.
She is an arrogant winner, and her attitude is even worse in defeat. Has poor relationships with other players, and just doesn't seem like she is a very nice person.
