Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Slams “Sexist Clown” Over Comments About Her Weight

Alexis Ohanian is proving that “love” is not just a tennis term as he takes aim at someone who criticized wife Serena Williams.

Ion Tiriac, a Romanian former tennis player who owns the Madrid Open tennis tournament, discussed Serena’s age and weight in a recent interview with Romanian television channel TVR. 

“At this age and the weight she is now, she does not move as easily as he did 15 years ago,” the 81-year-old president of the Romanian Tennis Federation said in the conversation that was translated to English by Ubitennis. “Serena was a sensational player. If she had a little decency, she would retire. From all points of view.”

The comments clearly did not sit well with Alexis. When a Twitter user posted the interview on Sunday, Jan. 3 and said it was “safe to say” that Serena wouldn’t choose to compete in the Madrid Open again, Alexis replied, “Safe to say no one gives a damn what Ion Țiriac thinks.”
