Prior to today's Wimbledon final, J.K. Rowling shared a picture of herself with Serena Williams on Twitter, announcing that she was cheering on the younger Williams sister. 

I'm #TeamSerena today, because you don't meet many super-talented people nicer than she is. Go @serenawilliams! pic.twitter.com/KHDYNCt6Ls

Throughout her match against Garbine Muguruza and afterwards, the author of the Harry Potter series continued to rave about Serena.

#SerenaSlam! I love her. What an athlete, what a role model, what a woman!

Then, some idiot responded to that last tweet with this message. 

@jk_rowling @hansmollman ironic then that main reason for her success is that she is built like a man

Why did he have to do that? Unfortunately for him, Rowling put him in his place. 

.@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot. pic.twitter.com/BCvT10MYkI
