WATCH: Venus’ bullet leads to a hilarious Federer tweet

The older Williams sister has been in cracking form at the US Open and is even in the zone when it comes to collateral damage...


Venus Williams is in such rampaging form at the US Open that she’s even injuring ball boys!

Her legendary male compatriot Roger Federer poked some fun at the incident on Twitter, cleverly using emojis to illustrate the poor young man’s anguish.

She’ll face Petra Kvitova in her quarterfinal on Tuesday.

She hasn’t reached three Slam finals in a year since 2002.
