Recently, during a podcast, Meghan Markle, close friend of Serena Williams, spoke about the reckless behavior of medical staff, including her nurse who called her crazy.
Serena has experienced several health issues over the years, including blood clots. Meghan said: “Serena has a history of blood clots and felt very unwell after the C-section.
She was out of breath and starting to lose feeling in her legs. Her nurse told her: I think all these drugs are making you talk like crazy. Fortunately, she finally received the life-saving care she needed.
But my God, it took too long. She wants to be heard, and so many women do. Especially women of color. The stakes are high.” In 2011, Serena suffered a pulmonary embolism, a condition in which blood clots traveling from different parts of the body cause blockage of the pulmonary artery in the lungs.
She had to undergo emergency surgery.
The last dances of Serena and Roger Federer.
Serena Williams and Roger Federer have said goodbye to tennis. The two former world number ones have changed men’s and women’s tennis since they entered this world: it was before the 2000s that the two joined their respective tennis circuits.
It was 1995 and the Queen of Tennis was turning professional tennis; three years later, she was also joined by the King of Tennis. Twenty-three Slam titles for the American (a record that has not yet been equaled by anyone in the Open era), twenty for him.
Both have obtained at least one title in each stage of the Grand Slam. Both former world number ones. Retirement has also come to bind the two legends of the sport as she both left the pro circuit this season.
Serena Williams did her last dance in New York: the third round of the US Open which was her terminus, lost against Ajla Tomjlavonic, was a big party made in the USA.
Roger Federer, meanwhile, picked the Laver Cup: London and the Fab Four for a legendary setting for a doubles with friend and rival Rafael Nadal, the Swiss’s final retirement celebration left one of the most iconic moments in the history of sport, a moment showing Rafa and Roger holding hands in tears, one to leave the sport he loves and the other to see his friend and the one who pushed him to surpass himself hang up his racquet.
