By now, you've probably heard that Serena Williams was upset by Italian player Roberta Vinci at the U.S. Open semifinals today. And it wasn't just any old match — it ended Williams' quest for tennis history. If she won, she would have been the first player since 1988 to win all four major tennis tournaments in a calendar year. So, what went wrong? Was it her serve or her opponent's power? Some people have a cruel (yet pretty funny) theory: It was all Drake's fault.
Rumors have been swirling that Williams and Drake are dating, which was only cemented by the fact that he attended her match on Friday. After her unexpected loss, Twitter users were quick to point fingers and say that Drake jinxed the 21-time Grand Slam champ. Below are some examples of the Twitter shade thrown Drizzy's way. Are we terrible people if we think they're kind of hilarious?
