Venus Williams, after being absent for a long time this year, is now back on tour. With the aim of setting fire to her Wimbledon opponents, Williams is currently competing in the Birmingham Classic. She won her first-round bout against Camila Giorgi, but not before Giorgi seemingly celebrated at Williams falling down. The display of elation was not well received by Martina Navratilova, who left an angry comment on a Twitter post.

Along with Navratilova, fans of Queen V were also mad at the Italian player. As the matter came to light, tennis fans did not mince their words as they were angered by Giorgi’s scream of celebration at Williams’ fall.
