Michael Venus: Last News

Game, set, match! Venus Williams kept it real while answering questions with fellow tennis star Jamie Murray at a press conference over the weekend — especially when asked about sister Serena Williams.

Venus Williams was not afraid to call out these questions. After winning her first-round match with fellow tennis star Jamie Murray against Michael Venus and Alicja Rosolska on Saturday, the tennis pro shut down an eyebrow-raising line of questioning during a press conference at Wimbledon.«Are you in it to win it? Or is it the first target to get past the third round where Serena and Andy became a cropper?» a reporter asked the duo in a video of the exchange from the BBC that has since gone viral.

Venus Williams had the best response after a journalist questioned whether she wanted to go all the way in Wimbledon.

Is Nick Kyrgios good or bad for tennis? Let us know in the comments section.
