Former world No. 1 Serena Williams said she always supports clean and fair competition among athletes, but she is also very upset when she is constantly put on the random drug testing list. The tennis player who owns 23 Grand Slam titles also emphasized that the constant doping testing this season is not a coincidence but rather a discrimination against skin color.

The Williams sister wrote on her personal page: “Among the athletes participating in this year’s tournament, the name Serena William is called up to test for stimulants the most. Is this discrimination? I think it is.” That’s exactly what it is”. Serena Williams just missed the chance to equal Australian legend Margaret Court’s Grand Slam winning record when she was runner-up at Wimbledon 2018 last month.

Although Serena Williams only returned to professional competition this year, after a long period of maternity leave, she is still the greatest and best tennis player in the world today with a remarkable track record and extensive competition experience. . Although she loudly criticized the WTA for constantly calling in doping tests, Serena always supported professional measures to help sports have fair and healthy competition.

Recently, Serena Williams was given special admission to Rogers Cup 2018, the tournament she won in 2001, 2011, 2013. Rogers Cup 2018 will take place on hard courts in Montreal (for female players) and in Toronto (for male tennis players), from August 6 to 12. 

Receiving a special berth in the tournament, Serena Williams will mark her first return here since 2014, the season in which the former American world No. 1 tennis player had to stop in the semi-finals, after losing to her sister. Venus Williams.
