She has 21 Grand Slam titles to her name and is the highest
paid female athlete in the world. But
this week some tennis fans claim they have been too 'distracted' by Serena
Williams' nipples showing through her tennis whites to focus on her game.
The world number one, 34, powered into the semifinals after
beating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, but viewers such as MrStephenMc
were more interested in questioning her appearance. This week some tennis fans
claim they have been too 'distracted' by Serena Williams' nipples showing
through her tennis whites to focus on her game at Wimbledon
'Surprise BBC haven't issued a warning that Serena is
showing some nipple today,' he tweeted. Nick
Du Val had also taken note, saying: 'I've just been exposed to Serena Williams
nipples on the BBC, should I complain?'
Female commentators were equally vocal on the issue. CordyCat3456
joined in the chorus of disapproval, saying: 'I wouldn't usually comment on
another woman's body, but could someone give Serena Williams something to cover
her nipples. Very distracting.'
Mottersss was also unimpressed, saying Wimbledon 'should be
PG'. 'Just to let you know @serenawilliams we can see your nipples through your
top! Whoops!' she wrote.
SeetalRihal , however, was horrified that people were
focusing on the champion's body rather than her performance on the court. 'Boobs and nipples have become so overly
sexualised that Serena Williams can't even wear a top while playing tennis,'
she wrote.
Poppy Francesca agreed with her point, adding: 'People are
actually complaining about seeing Serena Williams' nipples through her shirt -
and people still think we don't need feminism.
