- Williams' PR person (or people) is feeding all this crap to suckers online who will publish it... and read it. Although I got a chuckle when I read the lie about her having a "grapefruit" sized cyst in her neck. Somebody might want to find out where she's buying her fruit and tell the owner to stop telling her wine grapes are not Grapefruits!!

Let 'em have it. Of course, the best protection is to spend little or no time on anti-Social Media.mandoist21-10-2024
- I think opinions about tennis are interesting. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I do not. I have more problems with articles about Serena Williams going to a party or Federer visiting a football match 😀
