Defending her friend, Williams wrote a heart-touching&nbsp;note on Twitter. The American Tennis player said Meghan Markle&nbsp;had taught her what it means to be truly noble, and that she realises how the sexism and racism institutions use to vilify women and people of colour.
The mental health consequences of systemic oppression and victimisation are devastating, isolating and all too often lethal, she added.
The Duchess of Sussex has told Winfrey that she had suicidal thoughts after marrying into royalty and the British royals were concerned about how dark Markle&nbsp;and Prince Harry's&nbsp;son&nbsp;skin might be.&nbsp;

27 wickets from 3 Tests including 4 five-wicket haul, Axar&nbsp;Patel couldn't have asked for a more fitting start to his Test career. The all-rounder spun his web of destruction in such a way that English batsmen looked clueless for&nbsp;answers.

Moreover, he now holds the record for the most number of 5-fers&nbsp;amongst Indians&nbsp;after first 3 Tests.

Washington&nbsp;Sundar&nbsp;made sure it was a big enough as his unbeaten 96 helped India finish at 365, securing a 160-run lead. It proved good enough as England were bowled out for 135 and India didn't even had to bat again. India tamed the 3 Lions by an innings and 25 runs and extended their winning run in home Tests under Virat&nbsp;to 10 games.

He worked hard for what could have been his maiden Test ton but Washington Sundar&nbsp;was denied the milestone, as he remained stranded on 96 in the 1st innings of the 4th Test vs England.
