Former football player Ian Wright was disappointed to see Martina Navratilova seemingly body shaming Serena and
Venus Williams.
The Arsenal legend grew up watching tennis and he was a huge fan of Navratilvoa growing up. That is why the disappointment was even bigger for him as he remembered recently during a podcast:
"One of the most disappointing things I heard was listening to (Martina) Navratilova - who I really adored when I was young - listening to how Martina Navratilova lambasting Serena and Venus about their shapes, their bodies, and how they are 'manly'"
He continued:
"Venus was the one that blasted through, you can't forget it. Beads in her hair, she blasted through, and then we heard that she's got a sister as well who's coming...They started playing on those tennis courts in Compton, with the drug dealers and everything."
