In a prime case of worlds colliding, a First Daughter of the United States has come to the defense of a Williams sister.
Ivanka Trump, elder daughter of U.S. president Donald Trump, tweeted a link to an ESPN article just as the French Open event was nigh, criticizing the event organizers' decision not to provide a seeded entry to Serena Williams. Trump added that Williams remains "a formidable athlete (best ever!) and a loving new mother."
