However, not all the coverage for the 23-time Grand Slam champion has been positive. The New York Times recently landed in hot water for a controversial article relating to her impending retirement. Williams was referred to as "intimidating" and "aggressive" in the article, which also said that her playing style has become conventional on the women's tennis circuit because so many young players turn to her gameplay to win matches. The article was not well received by tennis fans on Twitter, with the majority of them questioning how it was published in the first place. One user wondered how such a piece could have made it past the editors after offending and stereotyping black women in general. "Sure, NYT, tell us more about how “aggressive” & “intimidating” Serena Williams is. I have so many questions about how this subhed (& the whole article, rly) made it past editors so it could insult & stereotype Black women while we enjoy our morning coffee. SO MANY QUESTIONS," the user wrote.
