JK Rowling sticks up for Serena Williams, burns Twitter troll
JK Rowling Serena WilliamsSerena Williams got some sweet social media support Saturday from one of the most unlikely sources.
J.K. Rowling, best known for being the author of the Harry Potter book series, was in attendance at the Wimbledon Ladies’ finals Saturday to enjoy some tennis. She expressed her support for Serena early on, though she also was supportive of runner-up Garbine Muguruza.
After Williams won in straight sets to capture her sixth Wimbledon title, which made her the reigning champion at all four majors, Rowling celebrated the accomplishments.
