Celebs Show Serena Williams Love Despite Grand Slam Loss
Serena Williams might have lost her bid for the Grand Slam, but celebrities are still showing her a whole lot of love amid the upset.
The 33-year-old tennis player was defeated by Italian player Roberta Vinci in the semi-finals of the 2015 U.S. Open on Friday (September 11) in New York City.
Serena would have made history as the first tennis player, male of female, to win a grand slam since Steffi Graff did it in 1988 had she won the tournament.
Celebs like Michelle Obama, Uzo Aduba, Katie Couric, and more are speaking out to send love to Serena. Read below!
So proud of you, @SerenaWilliams. What you did this year was amazing. -mo #USOpen2015
