‘Shame on You’ – Controversy Erupts as Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Joins Plethora of Fans Over Brutal Venus Williams Snub
It is no news that Venus Williams is one of the biggest names in the United States. She has the ability to make casual fans tune into tennis and stick to their screen for hours. Although Venus is not being able to play regularly owing to her age and injuries, she is still a crowd-puller. So, every match she plays must be broadcasted in the States, right? Well, that wasn’t the case today and fans, along with a certain Serena Williams’ husband, were not happy about it.
The former World No.1 locked horns with Qinwen Zheng in the round of 32 at the Western and Southern Open. She started off really well, winning the first set. Despite losing the match in three sets, Venus put on a great fight to put a smile on her fans’ face. However, most of her fans were unable to watch her.
After an emphatic win over Veronika Kudermetova, fans looked forward to this encounter, hoping for Venus to roll back the years again. However, the Tennis Channel snubbed one of America’s greatest ever and the fans were not quite pleased. Being one of the biggest tennis broadcasters, the Tennis Channel received plenty of flak from the fans.
