The offending Twitter user, Rob @diegtristan8 drew a backlash for suggesting that Williams was more famous for her body than, say, her victory at Wimbledon on Saturday.
Rowling, who had declared herself via another tweet a member of Team Serena before the championship, joined a chorus of angry responses by dubbing Rob, an idiot:
@jk_rowling @hansmollman ironic then that main reason for her success is that she is built like a man
