Serena Williams brands Ilie Nastase's comments against her unborn child as 'racist'

-


World No 1 Serena Williams has branded Ilie Nastase's alleged comments against the tennis player's unborn child "racist".

The 70-year-old coach, a former No 1 himself, was heard to have said "Let's see what colour it has. Chocolate with milk?" ahead of Romania's FedCup tie with Great Britain.





Williams responded to the remarks through a post on her Instagram account.
"It disappoints me to know we live in a society where people like Ilie Nastase can make such racist comments towards myself and unborn child, and sexist comments against my peers," she wrote.

"I have said it once and I'll say it again, this world has come so far but yet we have so much further to go.

"Yes, we have broken down so many barriers - however there are a plethora more to go. This or anything else will not stop me from pouring love, light and positivity into everything that I do. I will continue to take a lead and stand up for what's right."

Williams added that she was not intimidated by Nastase who also verbally abused Johanna Konta and Anne Keothavong during Saturday's FedCup singles, calling the pair "f****** bitches".

The coach was subsequently ejected from court and is currently being investigated by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
