Sorana Kirstea, who was attacked by Americans after speaking about the arrogance of Serena Williams

Sorana Kirstea has come to the defense of Simona Halep after a cryptic message from Serena Williams in the two-time Grand Slam winner’s doping scandal, and an American journalist intervened.

Fox News journalist Matt Dowell believes that Sorana has no right to talk about Serena’s “arrogance”, considering that in three meetings with the American, the Romanian “won only seven games”.

“I find it strange that people were more outraged by Serena’s post than by Simona Halep’s doping ban, especially after all the information that came out last week.

Also, Kirsta has the nerve to say that about Serena when she beat her 7 games in 3 matches.” – journalist Matt Dowell on Twitter.

It’s amazing to me that people were more outraged about Serena’s tweet than they were about Halep’s actual drug suspension, especially after all the information that came out last week.

It’s also safe to say that about Serena, as Kirstea won 7 games in 3 matches against her. https://t.co/1iq5NCfjwi
