Serena Williams has made a habit of proving people wrong throughout her career, and the 2021 Australian Open is no exception
The world Nr11 turned in a straight sentence Demolition of the World Nr2 Simona Halep 6-3, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals against Naomi Osaka, much to the delight of her husband Alex Ohanian
The Reddit founder was next to her trainer Patrick Mouratoglou in Williams’ player box and put on a “Greatest Female Athlete” shirt with the “female” part crossed out
Already a supporter of Williams both online and offline, Ohanian jumped over the bow to one of the American star’s leading haters after Williams’ last win,
Ohanian tweeted former Romanian tennis player Ion Tiriac who suggested Williams as too old and difficult to win a Grand Slam in a widely condemned interview earlier this year
“It’s good no one is listening to that racist sexist (clown emoji) Ion Tiriac,” Ohanian wrote, sharing the highlights of Williams’ dominant win on Twitter
Ohanian’s vocal and enthusiastic presence at Melbourne Park did not go unnoticed by tennis enthusiasts who noticed his support online
At her first meeting since Halep’s demolition of Williams in the 2019 Wimbledon final, the American American rediscovered her top form to take revenge on the Romanian and triumph 6: 3: 6: 3 in the Rod Laver Arena
The impressive victory of the 23-time Grand Slam winner on Tuesday evening prepares a blockbuster meeting of the last four with the Open favorite and 2019 champion Naomi Osaka
The game, which lasted 81 minutes, was much closer than the goal line suggests Halep led 3-1 in the second set
But the 39-year-old bounced back to win the game’s final five games in a brilliant display of power hitting, beating 24 winners on Halep’s nine
Williams turned back the clock to keep Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles alive
The great American entered the game with a 9-2 lead in head-to-head fights with Halep, but her loss at the All England Club two years ago still hurts
Williams will take on Osaka for the second time in the second final, who ended the fairy tale run of Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-Wei with a 6-2: 6-2 demolition in the quarterfinals
