Taylor Townsend’s runner up speech after playing US Open mixed doubles final with Donald Young “I just hope Donald and I standing here, Frances in the SF, & Coco being defending champion shows people that look like us that it’s possible.” 🥹

The stadium is literally named after a black guy named Arthur Ashe

This makes no sense with all due respect. The stadium is named after a black guy and Serena dominated tennis for 2 decades.

Imagine a white guy gave a speech like this in a sport dominated by non-whites. You’re there because you are good at what you do.

Playing the race card, people like her are insufferable.

Lmao. Why is race brought into everything?? This is embarrassing and just pandering at this point. Venus+Serena lead the way, this isn’t 1990 holy fuck

She said in Arthur Ashe stadium

What? Thinking the great Williams sisters put that narrative to rest. 💪🏾

Oh please. Disappointing @TaylorTownsend Have you ever heard of Arthur Ashe or Venus and Serena?

Didn't Venus and Serena already do this for decades?

All due respect. Tennis isn’t the thing that proves what’s possible when we’ve already had a black President. Arthur Ashe, Althea Gibson, the Williams’ already blazed the tennis trail. It’s ok to just be recognized for your accomplishments rather than the color of your skin 👍🏽
