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.
Here’s the entire exchange, via a transcript on the tournament’s website:
Q. You just won a match. Normally you smile when you win you come here, you laugh. What happens tonight? Is just because you beat Venus or because you’re thinking about what is going next? What’s wrong?
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.
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. (Laughter.)
Q. At least I made you laugh.
SERENA WILLIAMS: I’m just being honest.
Q. At least I made you smile. Can I just ask you…
SERENA WILLIAMS: Is it about Venus again?
