After romance, Serena wants title
When Serena Williams doesn't want to answer a question her voice drops in decibel level before tapering off and finishing with a shake of her head that signals, 'next question'.
There was none of that nonchalance or 'I'm not answering that question' petulance, from the 35-year-old, the Australian Open's second seed, when asked about her engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, which she announced with a rhyming verse that ended with 'I said yes'.
"It's been really great. I've said that from the beginning," a beaming Serena said of her engagement in her pre-tournament press conference. "I just didn't want to think about it until after Australia. Grand Slams mean a lot to me. I was, like, I'm not going to think about it. It's almost a little unreal right now because I haven't taken it in. I'm being rather selfish and focused on my career."
"It was right in the middle of pre-season," she said of the announcement. "I'm really focused on training, cardio, all kinds of stuff. Now, I'm on the road, already back at work. I don't want to get too happy because I want to stay focused. It was," Serena said, when reminded of the romantic nature of Ohanian's proposal which the American recalled in her verse. "I'm actually just a really good writer, so...," she said keeping with the mood, "If you guys want any tips, I'm around."
