After her closely and widely watched quarterfinal victory over sister Venus Williams, the best player in women's tennis, Serena Williams, took to the press room to field questions about her play, her family dynamics, and more. One reporter baited her with a pointless question: "You just won a match. Normally you smile when you win. You come in here, you laugh. What happens tonight? Is it because you beat Venus or because you're thinking about what's going on next? What's wrong?"
In her reply, Serena got strikingly frank:
"It's 11:30 [p.m.]. To be perfectly honest with you, I don't want to be here. I just want to be in bed right now, and I have to wake up early to practice, and I don't want to answer any of these questions. And you keep asking me the same questions. It's not really ... you're not making it super enjoyable."
To note, she delivered the last of that with a chuckle. A resigned chuckle.
