The official word is Serena Williams is suffering from a "viral illness." But if I didn't know any better I'd say she looked really really drunk. I've honestly never seen anything like this in pro sports before. It was insane, she couldn't even pick the ball up. I have no idea how they let her stay on the court for three full games. "Worrying signs" is a huge understatement...

The warm up video reminds me of when I used to teach tennis to beginners.

I'm not buying it. Serena "couldn't play to her potential today"? Are you kidding me? And I thought "worrying signs" was a ridiculous understatement...
