Maria Sharapova Calls Serena Williams Intimidating, “Bigger” In Person
Maria Sharapova plays tennis, but has made career off of talking about her opponent, new glowing momma Serena Williams. In seemingly every interview, all she does is discuss different matters regarding Williams and continually shows that she should really just keep her mouth shut when it comes to her foe.
The latest installment of Maria’s chit chat about her opponent comes from her new memoir, ‘Unstoppable: My Life So Far.’ She reveals her feelings about Serena and says that, “even now, she can make me feel like a little girl.” It’s the description of Williams that Sharapova details in the book that has everyone talking.
“First of all her physical presence is much stronger and bigger than you realize watching TV. She has thick arms and thick legs and is so intimidating and strong. It’s the whole thing – her presence, her confidence, her personality.”
Intimidating? Ummm….for reference, Maria Sharapova is 6’2″ while her “stronger and bigger” opponent” is 5’9″. Seems legit. Naturally, this got everybody talking and bringing up the fact that there’s much more muscular white women in tennis who would never be called intimidating by their fellow caucasian.
Hit the flip to see the people of Twitter speak their piece on Sharapova’s questionable words about Serena.
Here's Maria on Serena, again. Going for the world record for misogynoir in a single sentence https://t.co/D4uFVrpHTS pic.twitter.com/Lu1dpa454W

Serena is a lot smaller in person, so no, it's not. https://t.co/a2Rx8An9SU

Just read that Sharapova quote about Serena and was reminded of when Sharapova talked about not wanting too many visible muscles :S

Seen Serena in person many times. Always thought she was smaller in person. Muscular, yes. But she has 0 body fat & is only like 5'9

Sharapova's description is dripping with covert racism and disdain. It's really despicable. Perpetuating this idea she's big and scary.

She couldn't even dope her way to second place so she built her career off the poor, pretty white girl vs the big, black monster narrative.

Unlike Sharapova, I have no problem acknowledging my obsession with Serena.

Reminds me of how Tamir Rice & Mike Brown were described after being shot. I really hate Sharapova's description
