Bratty Tennis Bitch

I don't really follow tennis, but at least I know a handful of players who have played or are playing. One of those examples is the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena. The latter could be considered one of the greatest to have played the sport and maybe of all time. That is great and all, but she has been known for some pretty big meltdowns in the biggest matches. This one has taken the cake for the worst.

From what I understand, there were points in the match where Williams was penalized a few times. After the last one where I believe she was docked a game, she went on this big tirade about being treated differently and that the judge umpire was a thief, which netted her a huge fine. Regardless, she lost to 20 year old Naomi Osaka. Unfortunately, this first for Japan and Haitian descents was overshadowed by that outburst.

I've seen other sports where athletes have been hard to deal with. Look at Terrell Owens. Even though he got into the Hall of Fame, he was not someone critics wanted to be around because of his attitudes. It's not the first time Serena has even had these outbursts. And she created the sexism issue herself. It's her own fault. But I also have a few theories of why the outburst came.

One is the high standard. I have no doubt she continues to put the efforts in to keep playing at a high level despite her age.  Two is that she can be very feisty with it. There was those two times she went after an official, though the second time, she wasn't as bad with her meltdown. That being said, she does come off as a sore loser and that things didn't go her way. I don't blame tennis crew members for wanting to boycott her matches. Although it is very rare unless there's other outbursts since the late 90s, there is a fear of getting bitched at. Of course, you got defenders at her side. Even twats like J.K. Rowling speaking their thoughts, especially with that Australian cartoon, which I even admit comes off a little racist despite the message to it.

The title of this blog could be a name I could associate Williams with if she has another one or two of these outbursts. Some of the big named athletes throughout the world can be given a chance to blow some steam. This latest one, however, should not have happened. Blow steam, but not create a new issue in itself. It's all on her.
