Serena William is about to live a crucial moment of her career. She will be able to count on the support of her friend Meghan Markle who has been following her career on the tennis courts for many years.
Friend, supporter and supporter, will Meghan Markle be able to attend Serena Williams’ farewell? After the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, she is expected in New York for the US Open. From August 29 to September 11, the 40-year-old champion will play her last Grand Slam, according to her statement in the September 2022 US Vogue, for which she is on the cover. “I’m not looking for a ceremonial, final moment on the court. I suck at goodbyes, the worst in the world. But please know that I am more grateful to you than I can ever say in words,” she began.
She added: “You have carried me to so many victories and so many trophies. I will miss that version of me, that girl who played tennis. And I will miss you,” wrote the champion. An important moment in the career of Serena Williams to which Meghan Markle should be able to respond. More than once, the mother of Archie and Lilibet has been spotted in the stands of the tennis courts to support the sister of Venus Williams. In 2019, just a few months after her first delivery, the former actress went to New York to support her at the US Open final at the request of the champion.
Meghan Markle persona non grata in the tennis stands?
“After winning last night, Serena asked her coach if Meghan could come. But everyone is worried, because tennis players are very superstitious. Serena lost when Meghan came to see her at Wimbledon,” a source revealed to Page Six. If Internet users held the Duchess of Sussex responsible for this defeat, the star of rackets was not of the same opinion. Far from these superstitions, “Serena adores Meghan and is so excited about her coming to the Open,” the same source added.
Later, Serena Williams was even pleased with the presence of the wife of Prince Harry. In the columns of Access Hollywood, she said: “She flew all night with a newborn baby to see me play in New York, I probably could not have done that. She is the strongest person I know, the kindest, the sweetest…”.
