Why did Sampras say Venus didn't really know where her serve was going?
Q. As someone who really appreciates fine serves, when you see Venus Williams serve, what impresses you the most about her serve?
PETE SAMPRAS: I don't think she knows where it's going, to be honest with you. Well, looks like Tiger Woods answering something about Karrie Webb. Her serve, she's a tall girl with a big racquet, throws it up and hits it hard.

Is it because she doesn't turn as much and consequently, doesn't spin the ball as much? I've had tennis partners try to compare Serena's, not Venus', serve to Sampras', but they definitely don't realize how much more topspin Sampras had on the serve, along with the speed. To hit 125 with all that topspin is a much tougher serve to get back than the flatter one Serena hits at the same speed.
