Serena Williams continues to follow tennis news, as she explained this Wednesday in an interview with *Time* magazine.

The former world No. 1 spoke in particular about the case involving Jannik Sinner, which lasted for many months and ended with a three-month suspension for negligence:

"I love this guy and his game. He’s great for the sport. Regarding his case, I’ve been put down so much that I don’t want to put anyone else down. The men’s tennis world needs him.

But if I had done the same thing, I would have been suspended for 20 years. Let’s be honest. They would have taken away my Grand Slams."

The American, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, also briefly touched on the doping suspension faced by her former rival Maria Sharapova:

"Strangely, I can’t stop thinking about Maria through all of this. I can’t help but feel something for her."

Shut up Serena. You are the champion of exemptions.. ridiculous as English man used to say..

Atp needs stars though, that's why he's only getting a slap on the wrist. Sinner is a star and atp only cares about money

What a a lie. Even retired she is always the victim. Watch this clip. Zero action was taken against her when she showed up so inebriated on something she wildly double faulted 4 times in a row and couldn't even catch the ball from the ball boy. Eventually she had to retire and then cried, because you know she's the victim....again..

Stranger still is she claimed it was a "virus", yet not a single other player caught this mysterious "virus", not even her sister who had to hold her hand to walk to the chair.

load of bollocks from Serena as usual trying to play the race card

Considering the actions taken against many players for similar offences, Sinner has been let off lightly. Simona Halep's career has been destroyed.

About Serena, remember the 2018 US Open final. She hurled the worst abuses at one of the best umpires in the tennis sport. In my opinion she should have been banned for a few years. She was lucky there.

That would make nadal the king of exemptions

never liked SW style.. apart of serve there was no much to admire, especially when she had to run to the ball under preassure... That was kind of comical..
