If Serena Williams did indeed drown her sorrows with the noise of her own voice by going to a karaoke booth after losing her maybe or make-believe goodbye game at the US Open, it is probably just as well.
If, instead, she had turned to social media in search of buckets more of the delirious deification which cascaded onto that twirling head in the Arthur Ashe stadium, those tears would have turned from 'happy' to horrified.
By no means everyone, it transpires, subscribes to the worshipful cult of adoration upon which Queen Serena was transported from Flushing Meadows to evolution.

See my post 41. I thought they were very rude to the winner glad to see others agree.
Exactly. The question mark is appropriate. The steroids may explain the rage but everything else screams "That's man, baby!"
That is some horrible prose. Where’s the editor?
