Tennis Twitter Scores as Super Bowl Fizzles

Tennis’ social media highlights from a snooze-fest Super Bowl.
Super Bowl was stupor bowl.

Super Bowl 53 was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl, the lowest-rated Super Bowl in a decade and a general snooze-fest unless you’re a member of Patriot Nation.

Still, tennis stars scored on social media even as the big game fizzled.

Sunday a special day for Sloane Stephens, who showed her support for the Patriots wearing a Pats No. 44 jersey in honor of her departed dad.

Sloane’s father, the late John Stephens, was a Patriots running back who made the Pro Bowl in 1988 wearing No. 44.

The big game brought us a twitter battle between former world No. 1 players.

Former doubles world No. 1 Rennae Stubbs, sharing sentiments many football fans feel, declared she’s sick of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichik always raising the Lombardi trophy.

Stubbsie flat-out challenged Patsies, er Patriots fans, hash tag “Hate the Pats.”

Former world No. 1 Chrissie Evert, Stubbs’ ESPN colleague, fired back bestowing the ultimate title on Brady with multiple exclamation points for emphasis.

Winning Ugly author and long-time Bay area resident Brad Gilbert, already emotionally gutted after another bleak and dismal season from his Oakland Raiders, suffered further trauma during the game.

Gilbert was horrified by the halftime show.

Typically a man of many words, the ESPN analyst delivered a brutal one-word review of Maroon 5’s performance: Awful.

Before the game, champion of equality Billie Jean King congratulated the Rams for making history featuring the first male cheerleader in Super Bowl history, hashtag “equality for all.”

After the game, King, whose brother Randy was a former Major League Baseball player, praised Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick for building a dynasty.

Nancy Armour raised an intriguing question: should Patriots MVP Julian Edelman even be playing the big game given his four-game PED suspension?

Serena Williams owns a piece of the Miami Dolphins and while her beloved Fins failed to make the Super Bowl (again), Serena made her mark on game day as only Serena can.

In case you missed it, the 23-time Grand Slam champion starred in an ad for Bumble, a mobile app and platform for women to connect for dating, friendship or networking.

Serena’s spot has already earned more than 520,000 YouTube views.

And if you’ve ever seen Serena loosen up her serving shoulder tossing a football in practice, you know she can throw the ball almost as well as she serves.

Sickened Saints fan Ryan Harrison summed up the feelings of bitter New Orleans following the refs blown call in the NFC title game.
