“I don’t want to sit by and let this happen, I had to do something” – When Serena Williams was taken to court by Lisa Raymond after Olympic snub
Former tennis pro Lisa Raymond voiced her frustration and took compatriot Serena Williams to court, following an Olympic snub. This incident unfolded during the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney.
Venus Williams clinched one gold in singles by beating Russia’s Elena Dementieva 6-2, 6-4. Later, she and her sister Serena won another gold by dismissing Netherlands’ Kristie Boogert and Miriam Oremans 6-1, 6-1 in doubles.Meanwhile, Monica Seles also contributed to the team’s success by winning a bronze medal in the women’s singles event. She defeated Australia’s Jelena Dokic 6-1, 6-4.
”I could have thought, ‘O.K., this is no big deal,’ ” Raymond said. ”But then I thought, I don’t want to sit by and let this happen. It’s not in my personality to be confrontational, but I had to do something.”
She also said (via ESPN):
“You don’t fight your butt off to become the No. 1 doubles player in the world and don’t get chosen to go the Olympic Games. How that’s not good enough — you tell me.”
