Now that
Serena Williams is supposedly
off-again with rapper
Common (though this
pic may say otherwise) she's a single lady with an empty ring finger. Uh, not so fast.
She has one of the closest baller-hitting partner relationships that I know of in the tennis world with
Sascha Bajin, or
Big Sascha in
Twitterverse speak. He's always in her baller box rooting her onto another major title, they hang out off-court tons and the pair share playful banter for everyone to see online. And today was no exception.
Apparently
Big Sascha offered up a nice piece of ring bling for the top lady baller and she couldn't have been more thankful:
Nice words for a friend. And just for the record, here's a photo of the ring in question...
Cute, no? Anyway,
Big Sascha was quick to respond to
Kandse's effusive tweets upping the 13-time Grand Slammer with his own saccharine-laced musings:
"I was born to make you happy"? "I will be there for you"? I mean, just throw something sparkly on
Kandse's other ring finger and call it a day. I kid. Clearly they have a strong professional relationship and solid friendship.
But it seems like one of those horrific
Meg Ryan/Jennifer Aniston rom-com movies you've been forced to sit through (fine, I've watched some by choice and hated myself through every minute of it) where the two players spend every waking moment together but date other people and then finally realize "The One" has been in their face the whole time. Awww, and CUT.
Also, check out
Big Sascha's Twitter page background. It's a photo from
Kandse's U.S. Open win in 2008. You see? Even the flag boy looks a bit confused by their interaction. I'd believe his reaction because he saw it all live and in the flesh.
Listen, I'm not trying to start rumors - pinky swear - but she's available (again, SUPPOSEDLY) and I haven't seen him tweet anything about a girlfriend. So just get on with it already. You'd make us all (read: just me) very happy. And isn't that what love is all about?
