(12,904 posts)Serena is the hands-down greatest female tennis professional player of all time. Of. All. Time.
She has everything these people should appreciate:
1. She is American.
2. She (and her sister) are consummate professionals.
3. She is respectful to fans and opponents.
4. She is a WINNER!
Yet, for them, something is missing. These people are such idiots, and statements such as the ones they made prove it over and over. As if a gorilla would play tennis with the power and grace of Serena Williams.
My sister in law tried to tell me once that Serena always "pulled the race card"* when she lost a match.
My response..."Well, I don't know how you would know that, since she never loses a match". My SIL's face turned so red, whoo, she was mad!
Forget them, Serena! There's plenty of people out here who love you!
And, ps...Congratulations on your 2015 French Open title, and for winning your 20th Grand Slam. I have enjoyed watching every single one from afar, and hope to see many more. I hope you are feeling better.
