WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark is getting some advice from Serena Williams.
When Williams, 42, appeared on the red carpet last Thursday for the launch of her upcoming ESPN+ docuseries, In The Arena: Serena Williams, she was asked about Clark, 22, and what advise she would give the basketball player.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion claimed that she had been “bullied” in her early career and could relate to Clark’s struggles as a rookie due to criticism.
Williams told the journalists during the event, “I was bullied,” according to ESPN.
“If people knew what I had gone through, they would cancel me now.
” Growing up, I felt like I had to be on guard in order to maintain my sanity.
Simply said, I was traveling the world every year, doing all I was doing, and receiving a ton of press. It occurred each week. It was laborious.”
In a separate excerpt of the interview that was made public by the Associated Press, Williams stated, “I love that she tries to stay grounded.
” She claims not to check her social media accounts.
I understand.
Neither do I.
I believe it’s crucial that she just keeps doing what she’s doing. regardless of what others may do.
If someone is negative, it’s essentially because they are unable to accomplish what you do.
I hope she keeps doing what she’s doing.”
