?Put Some Respect on the Women? – Tennis World Fires Back at Wimbledon for Blatantly Disregarding Venus and Serena Williams in Their Attempt to Appease the Next Gen

Wimbledon is globally considered to be the pinnacle of tennis owing to its rich history. However, Wimbledon’s social media game has been really questionable of late. Earlier this month, fans of the Serbian tennis legend, Novak Djokovic, lambasted the All England Club for ignoring their 7-time champion in their promo video. It looks like they have not learned their lessons. A recent tweet from the official Wimbledon account has stirred up controversy in the tennis fraternity and the fans were certainly not happy by the looks of it.

In an attempt to appease the next generation of young fans, Wimbledon has completely disregarded its former legends.

Twitterati ridicules Wimbledon’s disrespectful poster towards Venus and Serena

With less than two weeks remaining for the most-awaited slam of the year, Wimbledon’s social media team is working hard to promote the event. However, the latest poster from Wimbledon received plenty of backlash from the fans.

Venus and Serena Williams at the back of it caused the biggest outrage on Twitter.

The fans rightfully spoke against the subpar picture posted by the official account.

The Williams sisters’ Wimbledon achievements were mentioned by the fans to make the poster look more absurd.

Fans questioned Wimbledon for putting the two legends behind other stars, asking if they had forgotten about their accolades.

Fans were furious as Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina looked to be sharing the same space as the legendary Williams sisters, while Alcaraz and Sinner were pushed to the front of the queue.

In fact, Swiatek and Rybakina were unrecognizable to some fans.

People also questioned the absence of Andy Murray, who won two Wimbledon titles.

Putting all the women behind men caused real outrage among fans.

Fans asked Wimbledon to put some respect on the women.

A fan hit the nail on the head with just one tweet pointing out all the shortcomings.

Why Venus and Serena Williams deserved to be in the spotlight of the poster?

The two Williams sisters have a Wimbledon legacy like no other. While Serena Williams has seven singles titles to her name, the elder sister herself has five. The sisters also locked horns against each other in four of those finals in 2002, 2003, 2008 and 2009, which elevates their legacy and the rivalry.

Aside from succeeding in the singles, the Williams sisters have won six doubles titles together while being on the same side of the net.

In total, the Williams sisters have won 18 Wimbledon titles between themselves in the singles and doubles field. Surely, they deserved much more respect from the official account.
