Tennis: World No.1 Serena Williams has finally talked about her viral illness which caused her to retire in the women's doubles at Wimbledon, after serving four double faults in a single game.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams was partnering her elder sister, another former world No.1 Venus Williams and was unable to stand properly or hit a ball.
Serena told that she was scared and she did not realize how she felt at that moment.
'It was interesting and I was scared after,' Williams said. 'I didn't realize how I felt until later. In the moment I didn't realize how sick I was. It's weird but that's the fight in me. I never know when to say when.'
Serena also added that Venus ordered her to leave the match but she was reluctant.
'She kept saying, 'Walk off the court, I'm the older sister and I say you have to leave,'' Williams said. 'I'm feeling really good right now and I'm happy to be here.' Williams said she will undergo a series of tests at the end of the season.
'I was really ill,' she said. 'I got to thinking about a lot of things and because of family history, I'll get the tests done and we'll go from there.'
