I refer to the cartoon by Mark Knight which appeared in the Australian Herald Sun following Ms. Serena Williams', er, performance at the American Tennis tournament.

Is it racist, sexist or just tennisist?

Meh. Tennis PR tries to create the impression it's a sophisticated sport followed by an elite crowd. Whenever a player dares not play along they get roughed up in the press. Remember John McEnroe?:

I'd say it's a flattering portrait, even though it makes her look a bit too feminine to be entirely realistic.

Apologies.
The link to what I was trying to post came up with something completely different. I have sent the image I wanted to David via email. Hopefully, he will do the right thing and include it here!!!

Alas, Richard, I was unable to copy and paste the image you sent because, as I explained in a post down below, when it comes to these computer-thingies I am a moron!
I may try again tomorrow when I have more energy! Or perhaps I will ask my IT Manager aka 'SoD'!
