Wimbledon: Johanna Konta loses semi-final to Venus Williams
Express Sport take you through what the five-time champion said after her 6-4 6-2 win over Konta.
Venus Williams on Johanna Konta...
She played an amazing tournament. She showed a lot of courage, played in tough situations against players who were in form. I feel like she wants these majors, she'll have an opportunity.
She's played some amazing matches against me, as well. They were all well-contested, and today was, too.
Venus Williams on hitting a 106mph second serve while down a break point...
I'm just out there competing. I try to produce whatever I need at that time. There's, like, no plan or anything like that. I don't plan. I'm just trying to compete.
Venus Williams on asking Serena Williams for advice on Garbine Murguruza...
Yeah, Serena did play her in a final. I don't know when that happened. I definitely will ask her. I'm sure she's going to give me hopefully some things that will make a difference for me in the match.
I don't remember the other part of the question.
Venus Williams on Serena not being at Wimbledon...
Yeah, I miss her so much. Even more yesterday and today. I try to take the same courage on the court that she would have. I did think of that. I tried to do the things she would do.
I don't know that I play exactly the same way she does. But I really tried to be inspired by it.
Venus Williams on Roger Federer comparisons...
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what his experience has been. Mine may have been a little bit different than his.
But obviously you can play this game for a while if you love it, you put in the work and stay healthy. So those are definitely similarities.
Venus Williams on her love of Boris Becker...
I loved his serve. He was playing big. I loved that. I was really young, so I don't know if I had the focus to like really focus on the whole match. But I just liked how big he played.
