I’m a tennis player and have followed their careers since I was in high school and they were teen sensations. The media and WTA definitely gave Serena a harder time than other women with similar outbursts. She’s a big imposing black woman and would get called out a lot more for behavior that other players also do. Whether it was conscious or jot, she was treated differently because of her race.
