Beyoncé has taken to social media to show her support to Serena Williams.
Taking to social media after hearing about Serena’s heart-breaking accident, Queen Bey extended her love and support, wishing her a speedy recovery. Serena was leading 3-1 in the first set of her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus when she slipped and had her left leg examined. The injury saw her leave the game and the tennis icon’s dreams of winning an eighth Wimbledon singles title crashed.
Beyoncé seems to understand what it feels like to have your place fall. However, she knows that queens always rise! “We salute you Serena Williams! You are a leader on and off the tennis court. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a full, smooth and successful recovery, ” Queen Bey wrote.
A few fans took to the comment section of Beyoncé’s post to wish Serena well and to commend Bey on her thoughtful post. @LorettaLaRue916: “I’m praying all is well!”
In a cover interview with British Vogue, Williams said she wants to “change the narrative” regarding women not being taught or even expected to be leaders. In June, Serena’s daughter Olympia made headlines after wearing a replica of her mum’s outfit. Olympia was seen rocking her mother’s Australian Open wear. The child was spotted in a black, red and pink Nike catsuit, a replica of the one-legged outfit Williams wore in February.
