The journalist replied, “Just fine, thank you.” 

“Great… ditto kiddo (smile),“ Williams said back to the journalist with a wink. You can see the clip below.

Notably, the journalist was referring to Williams’ infamous outburst at the US Open in 2009. During her semi-final loss against Kim Clijsters, she lost her cool at a line judge who called a foot fault when Williams was serving. Safe to say, it affected the American tennis player, as she lost the match. Later the Grand Slam committee fined Williams around $10,000.
