[Senator Clay Davis]

The problem is she's really not that talented. Her success in 2014 was all about will and grit, but her overall game has never blown you away, it's just in womens tennis will and grit can go a long way (see Maria post injury). But that was when Genie was a nobody with no photo shoots and no sponsor contracts. Now she's a somebody, even as irrelevant as she is on the court she's still probably one of the top 5 most well known female tennis players. And even that 2014 season was a bit of a mirage, her non-major performances that year were not that great.

I suspect we might finally see her show some dedication again when she's truly irrelevant both on and off the court, but she's social media savvy so I suspect she keeps finding ways to stay in the limelight even as her ranking plunges into the triple digits. I mean outside Serena winning the Aussie Open, Genie has by far the most well known moment for a women's tennis player this year, her Super Bowl bet. She can find ways to stay in the news, even if it's not for her on court play.
