Nov. 04--Serena Williams isn't someone you want to mess with. You undoubtedly know this already.
But for some reason, some guy had to find out for himself ... and wound up face to face with the alter ego the tennis star has named SuperSerena.
Williams wrote about the incident on social media Wednesday and accompanied her posts with a photo of herself dressed in a Supergirl outfit.
According to Williams' account, the incident occurred Tuesday night when she was out for dinner with a friend.
"So this guy is standing next to me and something (I have now dubbed it my SUPERHERO sense) told me to watch him," she wrote. "My phone was sitting in the chair but I just didn't feel right. He was there too long. "Is he a customer?" I thought "Is he waiting on the bathroom?" nonetheless I tried to shake this eerie feeling. However, I kept watching him from the corner of my eye."
Her suspicions were confirmed, Williams said, when the man grabbed her phone and ran off.
"Not thinking I reacted (hence the superwoman photo) I jumped up, weaved my way in and out of the cozy restaurant (leaping over a chair or two) and chased him down," Williams wrote. "He began to run but I was too fast. (Those sprints came in handy) I was upon him in a flash!"
Williams said she confronted the startled man, who stammered out an excuse before returning her phone.
"Superhero? Maybe? Or HELL YEA!! I've got the speed the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm," Williams wrote.

"When I got back into the restaurant I received a standing ovation. I was proud. I just showed every man in there I can stand up to bully's and other men. It was a win for the ladies!
"Just because you are a lady don't be afraid to step up to any challenge and not be a victim but a hero! SuperSerena and her sidekick quailman"
