Serena Williams loses third straight Grand Slam.
Serena loses third consecutive Slam.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
LONDON — Serena Williams just can’t seem to get over the hump anymore and she’s not getting any younger. With a chance to tie Margaret Court’s all-time Grand Slam record, the 37-year-old tennis star took it on the chin; losing to Simona Halep in straight sets during Saturday’s Wimbledon final. Serena has 23 Grand Slam triumphs, just one short of Margaret’s superhuman procurement. But she’s also lost three straight Grand Slams. Saturday’s contest was void of dubiety. Simona, who’s from Romania, whupped Serena’s ass; winning 6-2, 6-2 in less than an hour. Prior to the match, tennis great Billie Jean King questioned Serena’s priorities.
“She’s got business, a baby, she’s trying to help gender equity, particularly for women of color,” Billie told the Metro. “She’s actually on the Billie Jean King leadership initiative, she and Venus are both advisors for it (which makes winning a Slam much harder). I would like to see her put everything else aside from that.”
"She literally played outta her mind."

“She’s got people working on these things,” Billie continued. “I wish she would just make a commitment for the next year-and-a-half to two years and just say, ‘I’m going to absolutely devote what’s necessary for my tennis [career] so when I look in the mirror when I’m older that I can go back in my mind and know I gave everything I had and be happy.’ But if she’s happy doing it this way it’s fine. It’s not about us.”
When asked if she should focus more on tennis, a pissed off Serena articulated a poignant communiqué. “The day I stop fighting for equality … will be the day I’m in my grave,” she said before standing up and walking away from her press conference.
Do you agree with Billie?
Is Serena too distracted?
Is she getting too old?

Serena Williams NEEDS TO LAY OFF THE TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS
Serena didnt even show up. Performance anxiety these last 3 finals. You hate to see it
Beaten in under 1 hour in a Final. Nice work Serena. Last year’s Final was a work of art as well. Next year Serena will face a 15yo in the Final and get bageled.
Simona wasn’t playing with you all today!!! Congratulations Halep.
So ready for this beast to retire. My family were long time fans until her loss to Osaka. Zero class. And did I say steroid beast? Yuck
Never forget Simona Halep paid the ultimate sacrifice to be a tennis champion by undergoing breast reduction surgery at age 17 in 2009. As a teenager her 34DD prevented her from playing her best tennis.
Serena deserved to lose. First: because she is such a bad loser without any fairness. Second, because she is too heavy and slow. She cannot run anymore as Halep did. Serena could win only 4 games against the 12 Halep won. That says everything about the quality of the two players. Serena does not have any strategy, because she lacks some intelligence. She can only hit hard. But that was not enough against Halep.
I am delighted that Simona won. Great job!
Beauty and the beast, happy Simona slayed her
Congrats Simon you are a true champ.Glad you beat the media darling lefty.The DNC media will blame Trump and claim it was racist she lost.
They played 4 times against each other and this is the first time Halep won against Serena.
Simona girl gimme a hug!🤗🙌🙌🙌
I swear Serena’s skirts so short I could swear I seen her dick or its dick LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
come on serena one more grandslam title!!!
Nice Serena didn’t create any drama like US open final last year
While I was comfortably watching slumped on the couch, I was literally catching my breath seeing Simona run from end to end of the court returning shots from Serena. AMAZING PERFORMANCE & WELL DESERVED WIN SIMONA 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
simoma has come of age
Wow she beat a 37 year old Serena, if this was 5 years ago it be 6-0-6-0 serena, as if Serena even cares anymore after dozens of slams. Halep is ok not that good, Serena is the GOAT, the best classiest tennis player of all time, call me when Halep wins another slam in what will probably be in about 7 years………
The old fat racist dude in white dress looks like a tired old ho now doesn’t he?
Tired of Serena….thank god someone kicked her in the groin.
