Margaret Court, the legendary Australian tennis player, recently reported a burglary in her home in Perth. While she and her husband were not home, some of her awards and medals were stolen. Court watched the whole episode on her CCTV camera. The two men, 33 and 34, entered Court’s home through the front door and stole her many accolades and jewelry.
While both the aggravators are under arrest and are right now in custody, the unfortunate robbery has come as a delight to Serena fans. On Twitter, 7NewsSydney posted about this upsetting incident. Since then, Serena fans have not stopped taking a dig at Court.

Serena Williams has a ruthless fanbase
Court is one of those legendary tennis players whose popularity among the new generation of fans has diminished rapidly, especially when it comes to Serena fans. The news of the robbery, thus, sets Serena’s fanbase in a happy mood.
Margaret herself is quite shocked at the incident, but only prays for goodwill to shine on the arrested aggravators.
A fan tweeted their reply to the news saying, “The devil work’s hard, but Rena’s army works harder”, hinting at Serena’s fans who are trying to take hilarious digs at the former Australian star.

Williams versus Court, who is the GOAT?
Although Serena has 23 Grand Slams to her name, that’s one short of Margaret Court. The tennis world considers Serena to be the greatest player in the Open Era. Moreover, since Court’s history was scripted before the Open Era when most players rarely traveled to different countries to compete, many hesitate to consider Court as the GOAT of women’s tennis.
While Serena was candid about wanting to break Margaret’s brilliant record, the tennis legend remains inspiring in her own way. Serena’s decision to retire in US Open 2022 while still being in form is proof that Williams does not think about the record anymore.
