Andrea Petkovic had a message for the “haters”.

For all the haters who said she‘ll never win a Slam because she‘s mentally weak, go choke on that. Everyone has their own timing and supposed failures are often just stepping stones in an individual‘s life.

And an interesting fact from journalist Ben Rothenberg.

Simona Halep is the first ever “Slamless #1” to win a Slam while #1.

Given all the crap that gets thrown at the women who have been in that role, it hasn’t been easy. Strong woman, this Simona. #RG18
