Serena Williams inscribed messages on her shoes
Serena Williams has the words “je ne m’arrêterai jamais” inscribed on her shoes. Loosely translated to English it means ‘I will never stop’. Since January 2017, when Serena won her twenty-third Grad Slam at the Australian Open, she has been waiting to go one better. She has reached the Finals on four separate occasions but failed to lift the cup.
Serena Williams has a lot of support, but there are haters and critics too who feel Serena will never be able to beat the record of Margaret Court. This message is aimed at those people. Apart from this, she also has the name of her daughter on her shoes, along with the initials RG inscribed which obviously stand for Roland Garros.
Serena Williams comes out in support of Naomi Osaka
Serena Williams has come out in full support of Naomi Osaka, in the ‘Naomi Osaka vs French Open’ controversy. Speaking on Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from the French Open, Serena Williams said, “Honestly I just found out before I walked into the press conference, so that’s the extent of it right now for me,”
The twenty-three time Grand Slam Champion continued, “The only thing I feel is that I feel for Naomi. I feel like I wish I could give her a hug because I know what it’s like. Like I said, I’ve been in those positions. We have different personalities, and people are different. Not everyone’s the same. I’m thick (skinned). Other people are thin. Everyone is different and everyone handles things differently.”
In the end Serena concluded by saying that , “You just have to let her handle it the way she wants to, in the best way she thinks she can, and that`s the only thing I can say. I think she’s doing the best that she can.”
