Serena Williams: Unbelievable what she asked for from the Wimbledon tournament – sports mix

They all came, a total of 26 Wimbledon winners. In addition to the current stars Rafael Nadal (36), Novak Djokovic (35) and Roger Federer (40), the legends Björn Borg (66), John McEnroe (63), Chris Evert (67) and Billie Jean King (78).

Anyone who was absent from the 100th anniversary of the Center Court in Wimbledon had a painful reason, like Martina Navratilova (65), who was suffering from Corona, or was just unwell, like Boris Becker (54), who is in prison.

Steffi Graf (53), Andre Agassi (52) and Pete Sampras (50) are shy of the public and canceled, but one shot the bird, as reported by The Times: Serena Williams (40).

The 23-time Grand Slam winner had already flown home after surprisingly failing in the first round at French Harmony Tan (24). The truth is that she was still in London, but instead of attending the ceremony, she preferred to attend the Rolling Stones concert in Hyde Park and the premiere of the American sci-fi comedy Thor in Leicester Square.

The reason, according to “The Times”: Williams was angry because the organizer did not provide the desired number of cars. There was no official explanation for Williams’ cancellation, but Wimbledon sources told the newspaper Williams wanted five: one each for herself, her husband Alexis Ohanian, 39, and her coach, and two for the other family members.

Normal are one, top players get a second for their companions. In addition, the time in which you have the cars available ends 24 hours after leaving. But Williams wanted her for the entire two weeks of the tournament because that was also possible with other Grand Slams.

The source: “She makes her own laws and does what she pleases.” The organizer All England Lawn and Tennis Club was British and diplomatic when asked: “We have completely fulfilled all transport requests.”

By the way: Serena’s sister Venus (42) didn’t make such a fuss. She came, loved it and took pictures like a savage…
