In addition to her accomplishments in the tennis community, the Hall of Famer is also known for her blunt approach to articulating her ideas and opinions. The former tennis ace has further taken her no-filter demeanor to her online platforms, as she has never shied away from lashing out at naysayers. This was evident when a Twitter tennis handle recently brought to light an appalling ‘Grand Slam’ statistic concerning the Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur.

However, after a remarkable grass-court major campaign, the Tunisian tennis star was outclassed by the Czech tennis player, Markéta Vondroušová, in straight sets.

Taking note of her recent defeat at the British Slam, one of the tennis fan pages on Twitter brought to light an obscure statistic. The page tweeted, “Muslim women are now 0-6 in Grand Slam finals.”

It was later met with a lot of criticism and backlash from the tennis community who flocked to the comments section. Even the American tennis legend, Martina Navratilova, was quick to react to the Tweet as she ripped the fan page apart with her blunt response. She commented, “A total as*hole is who you are and need to be blocked”

With her recent remarks on Twitter, the former tennis ace has once again showcased her no-filter demeanor. In addition to the fans, some of the notable figures have also been a target of scrutiny from the 18 singles Grand Slam champion.
