‘Why Is Serena in the Back While F**king Bouchard Is in First..’ – Old Nike Photo Starring Federer, Sharapova, and Others Angers Tennis Fans for Its Bizarre Placement

In the past few months, the tennis world had to deal with multiple heartbreaks. First, it was Serena Williams who dropped the bombshell. Later, Roger Federer also broke the heart of his fans when he finally knelt down to his pestering knee injury. With Maria Sharapova retiring in 2020, women’s tennis is in a completely different era now.

As the fans brace themselves for the new dawn, they can’t help but remember the glorious old days with nostalgic pictures and videos. One such picture resurfaced on social media recently. However, it is garnering negative reactions for a particular reason.

Fans fume as Serena Williams stands in the back row of an old photo

Any person with a slight bit of tennis knowledge will single out the best tennis players of the modern era. It has to be Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. In an old photograph that resurfaced on Twitter recently, it has Serena and Federer with likes of Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi, Maria Sharapova, and others.

However, fans were not happy with Serena standing in the back row, while Eugenie Bouchard stood in front. Bouchard has made a name for herself as one of the most beautiful tennis players. The former Wimbledon finalist is still to achieve something substantial in her tennis career, though. Visibly, the fans were angry as Serena, being one of the biggest players, had to stand in the back row.

Fans did not hold back in expressing their anger.

Although it is a great picture, fans are fighting over the relevance of pretty-looking faces in there with the legends. While Maria Sharapova is great herself and deserves to be there, placing her ahead of 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams was questionable. The fans completely lost it when they saw Eugenie Bouchard standing in the first row. As many fans believe that the Canadian tennis star was not good enough to fit inside the legendary frame.
