The woman who is so often criticized for a lack of involvement in the Great American Tennis Cause, as I understand it, is only permitted to show passion for the sport if she’s silent about it. Which is, if you really think about it, a rather impossible task for an athlete who sometimes gets competitive, which sometimes leads to anger. This is nothing new in sports; it is nothing new in tennis.

Fantastic article by Emma Carmichael on the Catch-22 that Serena Williams will always face (and, to her credit, doesn’t seem to care about)
