Serena Williams Third Round Press Conference
Five years ago, she might have shoutedat the chair umpire. Three years ago, she might have turned to the crowd and let out one of her patented, bellowing screams. In 2015 however, Serena Williams calmly asked chair umpire Kader Nouni to quiet down the frenzied crowd at Centre Court in between points of her third-round match, as somefanswere oohing, aahing and gasping at every ball that landed within two feet of a line, rootingon the hometown hope in No. 59 Heather Watson.
But Serena wouldnt be Serena if she didnt give it just a little attitude. After her brief chat with Nouni,Serena turned, waved her finger in the nuh-uh fashion at the crowd and said dont try me with a little bit of that 2009 U.S. Open vibe in her.
There were a few immediate boos but most cheered the announcement to quiet down,as its always a few people ruining it for everybody else. Serena, buoyed bythe newfound silence on Centre Court, went on to survive the match in three sets.
