Unfair Rulings
Many female players lashed out, explaining that Serena was being punished for becoming pregnant and having to take a leave. Very important conversations started to take place, involving the idea that women’s rankings should not be altered when they leave to have a baby.

Serena was so overwhelmed to have so many women speaking on her behalf, and on the behalf of all women.

Although some people argue with her, it’s safe to say she has a point.
