"This is unprofessional", Serena Williams not tender with herself

She came out as stunned as we did. Eliminated in the second round of the Australian Open by Chinese Qiang Wang, whom she had nevertheless swept at the Us Open five months ago, Serena Williams was terribly angry with her level of play. really didn't think i would lose this meeting. I hadn't done so many bad things in New York, or even in general for a very long time. I made too many mistakes for a professional athlete. She served well, but I did not return like Serena. Honestly, if you don't want to lie to yourself, it's all for me. I lost the match. It's not professional. ”

A surprising underperformance that takes her even further away from this cursed 24th Grand Slam, that of the Margaret Court record, which seems to have refused her for several seasons as the years go by. However, the champion, now a mom, managed to change the tone at a press conference: “It's just that I'm a better actress, as I say now. "I'm not happier than ten years ago, but I have to pretend I don't want to smash the wall ... when in fact I'm dying."

"I believe 200% in you, so you much believe in yourself."
