Serena didn't have a temper tantrum and have a meltdown all over the court.
I was also surprised. Maybe she was just too darn tuckered out to kick up any dust upon her exit.
Or, maybe Serena knew her daughter was sitting somewhere watching her Mom on TV. The little girl is 4 y/o now. Old enough to know what’s generally acceptable behavior during a tournament.
If this is truly her swan song, kudos to her for going out with dignity.
There is no question, she’s had a great run. Her records speaks for itself.
But it is now time to pass the torch. It happens to us all.
Unlike the pouting drama queen Naomi Osaka, Serena has ALWAYS sat for press interviews, even after her most brutal losses. Osaka refuses to talk to the press after losses, citing “mental distress” and even “PTSD”.
Harmony Tan, age 24, Serena Williams, age 41. It’s hard to beat the ravages of Father Time. 🕑 ⏳
Serena is a has-been.
She’s aged out. The younger ones are hungry and better athletes. Happens to us all.
What’s “SW 19”?
Eventually the steroids won’t work anymore.....
I’m thinking age plus being a mom changed her attitude somewhat.
never liked her or her sister. And besides trans men will be taking over this sport pretty soon
I watched a good bit of it because it looked like Serena was in trouble from the beginning.
That Canadian girl, Harmony Tan, was literally half the size and weight of Williams.
I cheered when Tan won.
Serena Williams is done. Long past her retirement age. Tennis is not golf.
Congratulations to Harmony.
In case anyone is curious as to what SW19 is all about, the postal code for Wimbledon is 19. South Wimbledon postal code 19.
Losing must have felt like a real kick in the balls to her.
Serena was the Queen of unsportsmanlike conduct until Osaka came along.
Too heavy, too old, too out of shape. She needs to retire.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more uproar about trannies in women’s sports.
