Serena Williams just won her seventh Wimbledon single match – and 22nd Grand Slam championship – and celebrities are freaking out.
While her pal Beyoncé hasn’t taken to Twitter to express her joy in Williams’ 7-5, 6-3 win over Angelique Kerber on Saturday, Ellen DeGeneres was eager to congratulate the champion – just in case she couldn’t hear her screams from Centre Court.
DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were sitting next to tennis legend and former Wimbledon champ Billie Jean King. The tennis legend and philanthropist also took to Twitter to support Williams.
Congratulations, @SerenaWilliams! This tweet is just in case you couldn’t hear me scream it from the stands. #Wimbledon.
