‘Harmless Fun’ or ‘Outright Racism’? Wait Until You See How This Popular Tennis Pro Dressed Up Like Serena Williams During a Match

Tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki deviated from her regular tennis routine in Sao Paulo recently, highlighting her backside more than her backhand.  Following in the tradition of Andy Roddick and Novak Djokovic, Wozniacki took aim at her opponent (Maria Sharipova) by pretending to be a much more formidable player– Serena Williams, to be exact.

Stuffing her top and bottom with towels, Wozniacki strutted onto the court pretending to be her curvier, more successful rival.

The Associated Press snapped a full-length photo:

Tennis Pro Caroline Wozniacki Pretends as Serena Williams During Maria Sharapova Sao Paulo Match

Reactions have been surprisingly mixed.

Yahoo Sports called it “hilarious,” adding that Wozniacki’s impersonation was “uncanny.”

USA Today’s report gave less praise, but only really critical of the fact that Wozniacki didn’t take the impression further:

If you’re going to be Serena, hit your return with ferocity and glare at a linesperson. Hold up a picture of Kim Kardashian and listen to Green Day. Do something.

I can take off my shirt and say I’m imitating Matthew McConaughey, but if I don’t start every sentence with “all right, all right, all right” and overuse the words “ladies,” then what was it all for?

The Huffington Post, on the other hand, seems very convinced that Wozniacki’s stunt was racist.  They posted an excerpt from a tumblr page reading:

…this isn’t “harmless fun” as one article described it. its racist. out and outright racism. mocking and making fun of the bodies of black women for a laugh? real funny, stupid white girl. real real funny.

They also re-posted this tweet: “Even as champions, all that matters is the deviation of our sexual organs from the white standard and that we are hot to trot.”

Take a look at the video and decide for yourself:

Though Wozniacki lost the match, she actually won the point where she pretended to be Serena.  As USA Today points out, “this could be an effective strategy for all future Sharapova opponents.”  The Russian tennis player has an excellent overall record, but always seems to choke up against Serena.

The match ended harmoniously though, with the two sharing a photo with Roger Federer (who can be seen laughing in the video):

Keep in mind when making your decision that tennis players have a long tradition of imitating one another.

Here, for example, is Andy Roddick imitating Sharapova:

He once spoofed Serena Williams, too:

    The way things are going, A White Person simply saying hello with a smile to a Black will be deemed as racist. They make a mockery of the word and surely suffer from an inferiority complex if a good humored joke rattles them.

      I see you’ve fallen for Erica Ritz’s flat out lie. The HuffingtonPost did not say this was racist. All they did was ask whether it was racist and included opinions from both sides. They also included quotes from those who thought it was funny and not racist. Of course, the liars at TheBlaze will only tell you what they want you to believe because they know you won’t actually look into it yourself.

      If she had immitated Gina Mastrolvich, you probably wouldn’t have laughed as much, do you know why, Because she dosen’t exist and nobody has never heard of her. So she has to make fun of one of the best tennis players in the world, but when she does, she is labeled a racist. Not one liberal came out and told people to stop immitating Sarah Palin. This race card is priceless to them.

      I have to agree with the godfather on this. The article linked to the huffpo, was asking the question on wether or not it was racisit, nothing more. To report it that the Huffpo said it was racisit is wrong, what they did would be the equivelent of taking a post from ENCINOM and stating it as the Blazes stance.

      Bad reporting. Seriously click the link there is no way you can disagree.

      I hope they have to play each other soon and Serena slams a tennis ball down this hot-shot’s throat.

There is nothing you can say and do that isn’t racist-which is racist in and of itself. Blacks are to be treated like special needs children as you can not make any criticism of blacks or joke about their culture without it being considered racist.

      Man, you are as Hypocritical as it comes…. In almost EVERY post I read from you, you denounce something as “evil” or “Bad” and then turn around and do or say the same thing in a round-about way like it doesn’t apply to you…

      With Grass Yesterday, YOU said that Grass and drugs are bad, but alcohol are okay… ALCOHOL IS A DRUG…

      And you say don’t mock or make fun of others, and in the same post you say its okay to call people dopes….

      so to wrap this up (in case you couldn’t follow along)

      1. Alcohol is JUST as much of a drug as Marijuana (and is much more dangerous).
      2. Calling someone a “dope” IS making fun of them..
      3. and YOU are a hypocrite….

      While I may not be perfect (and I will never claim to be, unless in jest…) I give issues thoughts from both sides before I blindly make a statement, and I suggest you begin to do the same lest you look like a fool. At least make sure you don’t make a statement and then contradict it all in the same post…

      You know what, you’re right. This article asked whether this was racist as did the HuffPo article. Neither one endorsed one side or the other, rather they just put it out there. That is quite a distinction!

      However, one article included a quote from the other, which was not endorsed by the other, and then claimed it actually had endorsed that opinion. By that logic, TheBlaze clearly thinks this is racist, too, because it included the above quotes claiming this was racist.

      Erica Ritz’s lies would be similar to someone writing an article about TheBlaze and then saying that obviously TheBlaze hates black people and bases that opinion off a comment from you.

      Many blacks assume all whites are racist. You could innocently ask a black person if they are going to KFC for lunch and they may file a racial complaint. And even if you never say anything remotely racist they may still think you are a closet racist just because you are white. I have criticized black athletes and have been called a racist many times. Try it, it won’t take long. It just makes me think those that are playing the race card are either paranoid or racist themselves. smh

      Godfather.1, no. I’m an individual posting on an opinion site. Huff is a business. And, Huff introduced racism where there clearly is no racism. If she had painted her face black, then race might be an issue. Fact is, she looked as much like D. Parton as S. Williams. Their minds eye sees racism, and that’s the disease of a business peddling racism.

If whomever at the Huffpost was a tennis fan, knew the players involved in the spoof, and admired Serena Williams for the athlete that she is, racism would never have been mentioned in the story! But it was. And to not know exactly what the writer meant to do through insinuation, is simply naive!

      So you must think TheBlaze is racist too, right? After all, they asked the same question as HuffPo. And no, TheBlaze article was not based only on the HuffPo article — it is asking the same exact question as the HuffPo. Each article did the same thing — include opinions from both sides and asked it readers what they thought. Clearly, both are very racist. I mean, simply asking questions like that are simply just racist. Even if one doesn’t pick a side and asks for its audience’s opinion, it is clearly peddling racism.

      So, you have changed my mind, and TheBlaze, by posting this article, is obviously peddling racism.

      TOO BAD little boys. IMHO: Making fun / mocking someone is not the same as having an opinion. THIS was not meant to be funny or ‘light’…it was meant to ridicule and hurt. I hope Serena slams her into the ground. I don’t find anything “to lighten up about” in what you say … so… You say what you must say and stay out of my way.
      I say this was rude and unprofessional and if I were her Manager/Agent or PR person I’d call her on the carpet. She needs to apologize to Serena… easy to ridicule someone when they aren’t there. Maybe if Serena was there and she had a stringy rag mop for **** imitating Wozniacki it would be fine, but she’s not. When you grow up you’ll probably get this.

      As much as it pains me to to admit this, I have become a racist during the past four years. By “racist,” I don’t mean I hate black people, I mean “racist” in the sense that I’ve come to believe typical stereotypes about black people. These beliefs aren’t based on ignorance either, but are based on exposure to black leaders (e.g., Barack Obama, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Jeremiah Wright, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, etc.). Without exception, black leaders are scheming liars, thieving punks, lazy bums and envious malcontents who openly work to destroy this nation as it was founded. Furthermore, if the 95% of black people who voted for Obama hate America as much as he does, I curse the day Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves without making arrangements to ship back to their homeland.

You just keep insinuating that because it is a left wing news source they are saying it is racisit. give me one comment from the writer of the article that says it was racisit, not a quote in the article from someone eles, from the author.

      This wouldn’t be an issue if it had been a curvy white girl that a black girl was immitating, or even another black girl, or if they were both white.

      zippit,

      No it didn’t, how could it, the huffpo asked the question before the blaze did and before the Huffpo posted their question soemone else reported on the stroy. You found one difference in the story, the fact that the Blaze asked the question after the Huffpo did. So by your logic if Drudge than sites the blaze in their story asking if the photo is racisit, that would then mean that the blaze is saying that it’s a racisit story.

      did you even read the article from the huffpo? I answered your question you answer mine, what one line from the Huffpo article written by the author states that the huffpo thinks it’s racisit, and don’t give me a quote from some other news source or blogger that is referenced in the article, if you do you have lost this argument.

      Frustrated! I know that you are…… It’s really not that tough to figure out! The Huffpo article title starts the fire under the pot!!!
      “Serena Williams Impersonation: Is Caroline Wozniacki’s Imitation Of The Tennis Star Racist? ”
      Throw the word racist in, go find some obscure blog containing some outrageous claims, throw them in the pot and stir! Stir the pot! Rile the natives by insinuating that there is something racist in what occurred. The difference in the two articles is that The Blaze article contends, that the Huffpo thinks that there is racism! Once again, “The Huffington Post, on the other hand, seems very convinced that Wozniacki’s stunt was racist”, and I agree……….

      you have clearly lost this argument since I repeatedly have answered your question but yet again you dodge mine. Last chance here is my question from you, what one line from the Huffpo article written by the author states that the huffpo thinks it’s racisit, and don’t give me a quote from some other news source or blogger that is referenced in the article, if you do you have lost this argument.

      and if you are saying that the headline is what made it racisit then you have to say the same thing about the blaze because its the same dang headline. If you think the blaze post is racisit too and stiring the pot, I’m ok with that you are consietent and thats fine. But you can’t say one is and the other isn’t it is the same article.

      That’s about right my friend, when I go to Sao Paulo I do warn northern Europeans about “the beauty of diversity” and what area’s to avoid in Sao Paulo. They just don’t know that they will get targeted just for the color of their skin.

      When we host the World Cup in 2014 I can just imagine all the white victims.

      For any lily white people reading this – if you plan on going to Sao Paulo / Rio in 2014 or at any other time, stay in the tourist area’s and PLEASE PLEASE don’t get drunk in a public area, the mulattos will hunt you down like prey !

      Each year after “carnival” the local Rio morgue is filled up, your travel agent won’t tell you that.

      Uhmmm no.

      As I remember in the late 60s there was a huge crime wave. Police went to arrest criminals to throw in prison. When the criminals responded by shooting, there was a shoot out. And Brasilian police have been known to use submachineguns. There was a famous shoot out in Niteroi in the last 60s or early 70s which demolished the last violent gang for a while.

      Ovens? No! Overwhelming fire power in response to criminals refusing to give up? Yes!.

      What Americans need to know is that crime has had a great affect on Brasilian driving habits. They don’t stop for stop signs day or night. Refusing to to deal with crime is deadly.

      This was simple fun, and was not meant to offend Miss Williams, just poke a jab at her… It wasn’t racist in the slightest… Unless the lady followed up the outfit with a press conference saying, “Take that ni**er…” Which I highly doubt…

    It is not just having fun or racism. It is just envy of a better person. Not a big deal really. But I doubt the actions of her envy will make her a better Tennis player. Evidently, she does not want to work as hard as it takes, to beat S. Williams on the court.

      You’re forgetting the flowcharts of Politically Correct conduct. Only blacks can make fun of blacks. Blacks can make fun of whites. The confusion sets in on if a Hispanic or Asian can make fun of a black. It would depend on the nationality likely. If the race hails from a nation that is economically destitute they get more leeway in their ability to express themselves. It is good this woman is a woman, but she is white, and therefore any mockery, criticism, or comments or conduct that sheds a negative or humorous light on a darker skinned race is automatically racism, regardless of context, or original intention. This is a brave new world we live in, and the new speak can get complicated.

      By saving that little tid-bit for last, the reader reads the entire story thinking that what was done is unique and strange. This makes what she did seem like more of a personal insult, and perhaps even racism.

      Then at the very last you read that this mimicry is common among tennis players. Changing the entire context, and understanding of the article. This does a disservice to the reader, and stinks of manipulation, which is ok for a crime novel, it’s not ok for someone that is supposedly delivering the news.
      Your personal attack is much the same. Childish manipulation similar to what one would experience on the playground in 3rd grade.
