‘Nobody Picked Up on It’- Serena Williams Hilariously Trolls Fellow Players for Letting Her Live ‘Crazy’ Australian Open Dream

Serena Williams is one player, people will bring up in the GOAT debate. Williams has earned that right. She has performed amazing record-breaking feats during her career. She broke Steffi Graf’s record of 22 Grand Slam titles. Williams has an overall 73 titles at the end of her career. The ‘Queen of the Court’ has won the Australian Open seven times, but her final AO win was an achievement no one will ever forget. She won the tournament while she was pregnant. However, she took a dig at her fellow WTA players as her opponents didn’t pick up on her shortcomings during the Open. 

Serena faced her sister Venus Williams in the final. The younger sister emerged triumphant in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

Serena Williams on players not picking up on her weakness

While interviewing with Norah O’Donnell on CBS, Williams recalled her triumph in the 2017 Australian Open. O’Donnell reminded her about the event and Williams herself wasn’t sure how she achieved it.

“Yeah, that was a little crazy, though. I don’t know that was; I don’t know how that happened,” Serena said.

O’Donnell then asked Williams if she was aware of the pregnancy at that point. Williams responded that she knew about it. The legendary former tennis player also  roasted her fellow WTA players when talking about her AO victory. She said that she was finding it difficult to play points that went beyond five or six rallies. But luckily for her, no one noticed it and she went on to win the Grand Slam, and broke a longstanding record.
