SERENA Williams refused to entertain questions about Novak Djokovic’s US Open default, but did question French Open organiser’s decision to allow fans to attend Roland Garros.
Williams booked her spot in the quarter-finals of her home Grand Slam on Monday after an entertaining tussle with Greek No. 1 Maria Sakkari in which she won her 100th match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
A day earlier, fellow tennis legend Djokovic was eliminated in the most remarkable of circumstances.
After falling a break down at the end of the first set, he hit a ball in frustration, which arrowed into a line judge’s throat and he saw his 26-match winning streak snapped in extraordinary fashion.
He left the stadium without fulfilling his post-match media duties and released a contrite statement later that evening.
Williams, who is no stranger to controversy on Ashe, decided against giving her input on the situation: “I’m not going to touch that,” she said. “I’m going to leave that to you guys. I’m just not touching it.”
She was, however, more willing to discuss the French Open, which will begin a matter of weeks after the conclusion of the hard court Grand Slam in New York. – The Herald
