Serena courts controversy

SERENA WILLIAMS has warned Wimbledon chiefs she deserves the same treatment as the top men after being kept off Centre Court and Court One again.

The defending women’s champion, who has won four singles titles and a further four doubles titles at the all England club, was sent to the distant Court Two for her second-round tie with Romanian Simona Halep, which she won in three sets.

So too was Williams’ sister Venus, the five-time singles champion, for her opening match on Monday.
