Venus Williams had an angry confrontation with the chair umpire at the Emilia-Romagna Open 2021 in Parma during her game against Anna Schmiedlova. Reason? So the 40-year-old tennis star was losing her grip due to heavy winds and this actually forced her to take more time on the serve. The chair umpire then pointed out the violation to which she was heard saying, “I can’t control God. I’m just saying that the wind blows and there is nothing I can do about that,” she said in an angry confrontation.

The video of the incident went viral on social media and now has become the talk of the town. Talking about the game, she won the first set 7-5 but lost momentum due to unforced errors.
