At this age and the weight she is now, she does not move as easily as she did 15 years ago,” Tiriac said. “Serena was a sensational player. If she had a little decency, she would retire! From all points of view.”

“2021 and no holding back when a racist/sexist clown with a platform comes for my family,” he later tweeted.
