Serena Williams falls ill after eating dog food …
Turns around and win the Italian Open
- World No1 samples dish meant for her pet dog Chip
- Goes on to beat Christian McHale in third round in Rome
- Williams is playing in the Italian Open, and her hotel had prepared a special menu for her Yorkshire terrier, Chip, including a tempting salmon and rice dish. The world No1 sampled some of it,telling fans on Snapchat: “I ate a spoonful. Don’t judge me.”
- Williams’s verdict? It tasted “a little bit like a house-cleaner thing.” That was followed by an urgent trip to the bathroom a few hours later. “I don’t think it’s consumable for humans. They should have wrote that,” noted Williams.
- The incident did little to slow down Williams once she played Christina McHale in the third round in Rome: she won 7-6 (7-5), 6-1. Chip’s thoughts on the matter were not available at the time of publication.
