Serena Williams Saturday said she wasn’t a “robot” and couldn’t win every match she played after slumping to a shock defeat in the Australian Open final against Germany’s Angelique Kerber.
The 34-year-old won three Grand Slam titles last year. But she said she was not infallible.
“It’s interesting. I mean, every time I walk in this room, everyone expects me to win every single match, every single day of my life,” she said at her post-match press conference.
“As much as I would like to be a robot, I’m not. I try to. But, you know, I do the best that I can.
“I try to win every single time I step out there, every single point, but realistically I can’t do it.
“Maybe someone else can, but I wasn’t able to do it,” she added. — AFP
