Serena Williams is not only the best female’s player in history, but she is also one of the nicest in defeat.
The former world no.1 astonished everyone with a fantastic run in Wimbledon where she reached the final before losing to Angelique Kerber in straight sets.
The Speech
Soon after the match, Serena delivered a fantastic speech while fighting tears giving all credits to her opponent and sharing her emotions about her fortnight.
Serena commented
“It was such an amazing tournament for me. I was really hoping to get this far. It’s obviously disappointing, but I can’t be disappointed. I have so much to look forward to. I’m literally just getting started.
To all the moms out there, I was playing for you today, and I tried. She’s an incredible person, Angelique is, and she’s a really good friend, so I’m really happy for her.
This is her first title, and I know she’s going to really enjoy it and enjoy the moment. So, congrats again. It’s amazing.”
Then Serena expressed a concept that might be ominous for the rest of the pack: “I have just started.”
Everyone is adviced.
“I was really happy to get this far. For all the moms out there, I was playing for you today”
