Vague claim

"Their rivalry has become one of the most controversial and competitive contests between two female players" - Please could you explain why it is one of the most controversial? The lack of clarification in this article makes me question how worthy of it's own article this "rivalry" is, especially seeing as they only played against each other 14 times, that doesn't seem like enough to merit the label of "rivalry". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.125.49.252 (talk) 20:06, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Controversial is too heavy a word. At most you could say that the rivalry was heated. It was written about because Henin showed gamesmanship on one occasion, which might have caused Williams the match, and because the mere existence of Williams solicited quite a few bigoted, if not racist, responses from media and some players.CrashTestSmartie (talk) 09:41, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
