    1. Wish I could have fit the whole quote in the title!

      “I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for.”

      The way  the Tennis aport is so racist to black players I’m so glad they can get together and celebrate each other. This is so beautiful

      All-white parties for tennis players historically were just called “parties”.

    4. A lot of the comments in the tennis sub did not pass the vibe check when this was posted yesterday. Not surprising but still disappointing.

      I’m so glad she did this. I feel like if Serena and Venus had this type of camaraderie as well during their time it would’ve been slightly easier for them, but unfortunately, they had to be the first not the first but you know what I mean like they were the only for quite a long time.

      I am a little bit concerned, though why no ben there maybe he was just busy?
