Serena fights tears and emotions in Indian Wells

 

What an emotional moment!

Serena Williams was back in Indian Wells after a 14 years’ boycott due to a nasty episode that happened in 2001 when Serena won the title. The crowd was contesting the fact that Venus retired in the semifinal (she was injured) to give a free pass to Serena (her next opponent) in the final. Things got so nasty at the final that Venus and her father had to leave the stadium.

Serena was mature enough to put everything behind after 14 years and be back to Indian Wells. Everybody was curious about how the public would have being reacted and there was an emotional standing ovation with Serena fighting her tear… an absolutely majestic moment.

 

Then a nervous Serena managed to win a tricky match against Niculescu 7-5 7-5… but who cares?

Sport did win in Indian Wells!

It’s extremely hard not to like Serena. Great!
