Bad news for the tennis fans in Madrid as Serena Williams will not play in Madrid for injury (officially).

“She is 90 kilograms.” TIRIAC

There were already rumors about Serena not competing in Madrid especially after Ion Tiriac, the owner of the tournament, came out with sexist comments and he degraded the American during a recent interview with the Sportbild to comment

“I’m hosting the tournament in Madrid, with the same prize money for men and women. But the revenue from women is only 25 percent. That’s a fact. The men ask me: Ion, how long do you want to pay the women with my money? “

Talking about Serena, Ion commented

“With all due respect, 36 years old, weighing 90 kilograms, I also wish something different for the women.”

Serena commented, “I’ll have words with him, believe me, I’ll have words with him.” 

Well, apparently she won’t have any words with him.

Serena has won the title in Madrid in 2012 and 2013.
