Wimbledon - Ladies First Round
Elena Vesnina d Venus Williams - 61 63
Hard to watch this 5-time champion go out like this.
Her record at Wimby is legendary: 5 titles in 8 finals and a W/L of 71-11.
Post match: It's just a couple of months into getting back.
Life is challenging, but I'm always up for a challenge.
The tour will be around for a few more months this year and...
I will just continue to try to improve my game. I feel like I'm a great player.
I am a great player.
Unfortunately I'm dealing with circumstances people don't normally...
Deal with in this sport - but I can't be discouraged by that.
I have great tennis in me. I just need the opportunity.
There's no way I'm going to just sit down and give up because...
I have a hard time the first five or six tournaments back.
That's just not me.
Venus has nothing to hang her head about.
And she's still in the doubles with Serena. Don't bet against them.
