Serena Williams a manqué son rendez-vous avec l'histoire. Elle qui aurait pu devenir la sixième joueuse de tennis de l'histoire à remporter les quatre tournois du Grand Chelem dans la même saison a été éliminée en demi-finale de U.S. Open par Roberta Vinci, 43e raquette mondiale.

Et à peine quelques minutes après la défaite, les réseaux sociaux se sont enflammés, cherchant une raison expliquant cette défaite pour le moins surprenante de l'Américaine.

Le consensus : c'est la faute de Drake.

Le rappeur canadien, qui fréquenterait Serena depuis quelque temps, a assisté à un seul des matchs du US Open auxquels Serena a pris part cette année, selon TMZ : celui où elle a perdu.

Si certains mentionnent que sa présence a peut-être mis une pression de trop sur les épaules de la joueuse, la plupart parlent plutôt de malchance et de mauvais sort entourant le chanteur. En effet, ce n'est pas la première fois que Drake fait mal aux athlètes et équipes qu'il aime.

«Serena a commencé à se tenir avec Drake et Kim Kardashian, et elle a perdu. C'est la seule preuve dont on a besoin.»

«Kentucky dans le Final Four, les Raptors en séries (NDLR : référence à d'autres événements où Drake aurait porté malchance à l'équipe qu'il supportait), Serena qui y va pour le Grand Chelem. Tu fais bien ça, mon ami. Tu fais bien ça.»

«Le fait que les gens blâment le dieu Drake pour la défaite de Serena montre comment ces gens acceptent la responsabilité de leurs gestes.»

«Je vous l'avais dit, Drake est néfaste pour Serena, je vous l'avais dit.»
