Praise to Serena Williams for being a loyal friend

I don't often stray from business-related posts, but Serena Williams' loyalty as a friend got my attention. Hence, I'm devoting this to her.

Serena is Caroline Wozniacki's friend, although they are competitors on the court. Recently, Caroline was dumped unceremoniously by golfer Rory McIlroy. After she'd sent out invitations and tried on bridal dresses, he got cold feet.  Well, at least he didn't leave her at the altar. He ended the marriage plans -- and the relationship.  She tweeted her pain out and asked for friends to walk with her.  Serena promised she would.

Regretfully, both lost early at the French Open.  It was particularly hard for Caroline because Rory won his post-breakup tournament.  Caroline, probably more in pain, lost in the first round so she didn't get any vengeance on him.

After they were both knocked out early, I saw in the news where Serena and Caroline were hangin' out in Miami, at a Heats game, on the beach, doing girly stuff. I'm sure Serena's company helped cushion the sting of this public dumping and I have nothin' but love for Serena for truly walking with Caroline.
