This list so racist & misogynistic just say you wanted to discredit Serena & go - Angry tennis fans blast Spanish publication for excluding Steffi Graf from Major titles list in tribute to Roger Federer
By Parag Jain Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Margaret Court, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf (L to R) Just a few hours have passed since the tennis world witnessed one of the most emotional moments that there ever will be after Roger Federer bid adieu to professional tennis at the 2022 Laver Cup. The 41-year-old Swiss icon teamed up with his friend and rival Rafael Nadal for a doubles contest and took on Team World's Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock. Team Europe lost the match 4-6, 7-6(2), 11-9, but the scenes of teary-eyed Federer and Nadal left viewers speechless. Tributes continue to pour in from around the world from current and former players, fans and publications alike. However, Spanish daily newspaper Marca has been facing a bit of backlash from a section of the fans. While paying tribute to Federer in a series of tweets, it posted a graphic of players with the highest number of Grand Slam titles. For some reason, the list didn't feature 22-time Major winner Steffi Graf, but it did include Margaret Court, the only player to win a majority of her 24 titles before the Open Era. This didn't go down well with the fans and they retaliated by criticizing the publication. "This list so racist and misogynistic like that racist, homophobic rotten trash box first with her local backyard slams and Steffi Graf not even on here, just say you wanted to discredit Serena and go," a fan tweeted. @nextespagethis list so racist and misogynistic like that racist, homophobic rotten trashbox first with her local backyard slams and steffi graf not even on here just say you wanted to discredit serena and go twitter.com/marca/status/1…MARCA@marca Siempre entre los que más títulos de Grand Slam han logrado de toda la historia marca.com/tenis/especial… #LaverCup437 Siempre entre los que más títulos de Grand Slam han logrado de toda la historia marca.com/tenis/especial… #LaverCup https://t.co/xzxexnKVpLthis list so racist and misogynistic like that racist, homophobic rotten trashbox first with her local backyard slams and steffi graf not even on here just say you wanted to discredit serena and go twitter.com/marca/status/1… "Why y’all put that homemaker on the list when she the only one that doesn’t exclusively have Open Era slams?
