"She pretends to talk to people when no one is paying her any attention," the user went on. "Lmao Meghan out here doing the most trying to vibe with Serena's mom while she's locked in on the match like 'girl pls' — awkward Olympics level energy," quipped another person on X.

"I hope Serena Williams does not bring that witch to her matches again. The woman is cursed and brings bad energy. Call me superstitious but every time she appears, things go wrong for Serena," someone interjected.

Meghan and Williams' friendship goes back over 15 years, with the two women first crossing paths at the Super Bowl in 2010.
In 2014, the tennis champ and the former actress competed in the Celebrity Beach Bowl together. Williams also attended Meghan's May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry alongside husband Alexis Ohanian.
The duchess has been to several of athlete's games at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2019.
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle attended a Wimbledon match together in 2019.
The duo's affiliation still stands the test of time, as Williams previously defended Meghan after her 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
When Meghan and Harry, 41, criticized the royal family at the time, the Grand Slam winner wrote on social media: "She teaches me every day what is means to be truly noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she's experienced."
In December 2025, Williams further gushed about her "lifelong friendship" with The Tig founder for the latter's Harper's Bazaar profile.
“We love a good mimosa,” the sportswoman dished. “We could talk for a hundred hours, and it feels like 10 minutes go by, and it’s like we never stop smiling.”
