“Serena’s tirade abruptly ends match”

“I haven’t really thought if I have any regrets,” Williams said after the match about the tirade. “I try not to live my life saying, ‘I wish, I wish,’ but I was out there and I fought and I tried and I did my best.

“I was totally fine because I realize at that time I got a point penalty and it was match point. What am I going to do, complain? It was what it was.”

“I think that Kim played really well, and I think she came out with a really good plan,” Williams said. “I think the next time we play, I’ll know a little more about her game and what to expect.”

“I feel like I could have played better. Kim played an incredible match. I’m glad I got a chance to play her because now I know what to expect. There are so many things I can do on the court to do better, and learn from it, which I think is actually exciting.”
