Few athletes in the history of sport have rushed towards drama with as much enthusiasm and panache as Serena Williams has. So, when the extraordinary American cancelled her pre-Wimbledon press conference at the last minute on Saturday afternoon to go to a polo match with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the reaction around the All England Club was one of resignation rather than surprise.
Williams was a guest at the royal wedding at Windsor last month and the three of them – along with various courtiers and celebrity chums – were back there again to watch some polo on a glorious afternoon when, critics might point out, she might have been better off attending to her day job.
