Tennis Today didn’t make much of it initially. Woman sipping tea after dressing up, etc.
But the Daily Mail took us on an interesting path as they revealed that “sips tea” is slang for gossip and they ultimately came to the headline “Serena Williams’ cryptic tweet stokes speculation over which friends helped Duchess of Sussex’s media fightback”.
It’s been a while since we had bikini snaps from Genie Bouchard, but The Sun is on hand to end that drought.
What’s on social media
Maria Sharapova had dinner with David Beckham. Don’t worry Victoria was there along with Mr Valentino and a few others.
