We’ve all had days when we’ve not felt the ‘Mae West’ but we powered on anyways because we’re super hard.

Or maybe the journey home would make us more sick and it wasn’t worth the ire of the bus driver.

So we take our hats off to Serena Williams today, who despite being clearly unwell, played her way through to yet another French Open final by winning the last 10 games in a row in her match with Timea Bacsinszky.

The American eventually won 4-6 6-3 6-0 but it was one of the toughest games of her life as she had to battle through getting sick repeatedly in the sweltering hear to beat her opponent,

She will now play Lucie Safarova on Saturday after she overcame Ana Ivanovic in the opening semi of the day
