Richard Osley used his Summer Diary column to argue that if Serena Williams danced a little less, her games would be over far quicker. 

Unsurprisingly, not all of you agreed…

RICHARD Osley should stick to football. 

Tennis players are out there for between two and five pressurised hours, under the public eye. 

As they grunt and pant, their every move is under scrutiny. Richard, doubtless, will not remember the screaming serves of Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe – but this is what tennis players do. 

Commenting on Serena’s “wincing” and “pensive shuffling” is not helpful or even interesting. And frankly, comparing her to James Brown and her moves to his in Sex Machine I thought was well dodgy. So stick to what you know, Dicky boy – you sure haven’t got a clue about this sport!
