Opponents of the Favorites

Opponents of the favorites
Have a handicap, for sure,
Since every error that they make
Just sets the crowd a’roar.

In tennis, fans are loyal, 
Cheering those they love the best,
Which makes players ‘cross the net
Feel kind of down and even stressed.

As I watched the U.S.Open,
When Serena took the court,
I felt bad for those who faced her,
Getting zero crowd support.
