After her Wimbledon loss, Williams responded to fellow tennis legend Billie Jean King's comments that she should focus more on tennis and less on everything else
Photo: BEN CURTIS/AFP/Getty Images Serena Williams may have lost Wimbledon, but that won’t stop her from focusing on her activism. During a post-match press conference, Williams was asked to respond to fellow tennis icon Billie Jean King’s recent comments that if Williams wants to win another championship, she should focus more on tennis and less on all the other amazing things she’s doing.
King added that overall it is up to Williams to choose what she wants to focus on: “If she’s happy doing it this way, then that’s fine. It’s whatever makes her happy, it’s not about us.” On Twitter, King clarified her comments saying that she would never ask Williams to stop fighting for equality.
