Rogan mimicked the player and said, “She’s like, there’s a stalker, someone’s trying to kill me.” He continued, “If that chic has a tennis racquet, she can beat the f*** out of anyone in the world. You think she’s really worried about some f***ing d***? The pocket protector comes to her house with a p*** cup.” 

The player had already had an encounter with a stalker recently. So, Williams had assumed that the drug-tester was a stalker.

Williams rose above the rhetorics

Serena Williams stepped into the world of tennis when there was a general notion as to how a tennis player should be. She broke all those notions and played solely keeping her goal in mind. Tennis legend, Martina Hingis had criticized her gameplay too, but Williams did not phase away.

She stayed focused on the court and despite the crowd’s reaction to her; she thrived. People commented on her looks and her gameplay and subjected her to one or the other criticism but she let her racquet do the talking. Hence, now she has become a tennis legend with 23 grand slam titles under her name.
