Am generally a fan of women's tennis, but the fact that Serena at age 36 can spend six of the last 12 months in medical duress and come back 25 lbs overweight and beat seeded players makes me think the game lacks something.

Serena Williams Upsets Mayo Packets
Serena Williams is back, guys. After more than a year off to have her baby, recover from her near-death experience and post-partom depression and get herself in order, Serena Williams is ready to dominate tennis again. Of course, she’s just getting back into shape, but she’s still out here winning. This is making the mayo packets very upset, like that guy above.
I have never physically cringed as hard as when I read this in Serena’s transcript. Wow. pic.twitter.com/60wnSWG6En

Today, she faced roid-popping Maria Sharapova, a woman who hasn’t beaten Serena in 14 years. Yet, for some reason white folks love calling it a rivalry. And we. are. fed. up.
Take a look at the Twitterers reminding everyone that Serena runs this and your mayo-infused tears won’t stop it.
oh fun its that time of year where people say serena williams and maria sharapova have a rivalry even though serena has won the last 18 matches in a row and maria hasn't won since 2004 wow

Michael Jordan wins Game 5 of the '97 NBA Finals with the flu = "one of the greatest performances ever"
Tiger Woods wins 2008 U.S Open with broken cartilage and fractured tibia = "one of the greatest performances ever"

In your fervor to discredit one of the greatest athletes of all time, you inadvertently discredited the scores of other players that you’d be fine watching in their current state were it not for Serena’s superior skill. What an awful way to spend the twilight of your life, sir. https://t.co/7eso21d7r4

Dear Media,
Serena Williams is 19-2 vs Maria Sharapova.
She has beaten her 18 times in a row.
She has beaten her 14 straight years
it’s not a rivalry…

Today in fragile masculinity.
"Serena Williams returning to the majors and ruling on the courts after having a baby makes me feel some kind of way so SHE IS FAT AND WOMEN'S TENNIS IS NOT REAL TENNIS IT'S JUST SILLY GIRLS." https://t.co/anZnGsLI1Q

Ha ha ha ha the extremely casual level of disrespect Serena is subjected to on the reg rustles every last one of my jimmies
She's the greatest of all time
Eat my ass

For all the tennis lovers out there as we wait to watch Serena v Maria let's not allow this white media 2 call this a rivalry. Serena is a champion & Maria an average steroid cheating blond dewy eyed girl who serves with 2 left feet. There's no contest here. 19-2 isn't a rivalry

it’s wild that this extremely mediocre white woman is so often placed in the same sentence as the far superior Serena Williams https://t.co/iYpNVXZgXY

Maria Sharapova last beat Serena Williams in 2004.
Basically, white folks will keep their “best hope” relevant in the face of Black Excellence, especially if they think that Great White Hope is attractive.
Beat. Her. Ass. Serena. https://t.co/4SCQeXniwO

Maria Sharapova convincing the world (mostly white media) that in all her mediocrity, she is a rival of the greatest to ever do it – Serena Williams – that right there is the toxicity of whiteness defined. pic.twitter.com/NwwE4espOd
