Since tennis star Serena Williams beat her sister Venus Williams in the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open Tuesday, a clip from her post-game press conference has been going viral.

SERENA WILLIAMS: It’s 11:30. To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t want to be here. (Laughter.) I just want to be in bed right now. I have to wake up early to practice.

Q. At least I made you laugh.
SERENA WILLIAMS: I’m just being honest.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Is it about Venus again?
