Australian Open 2021: Tearful Serena Williams cuts press conference short after semi-final defeat.
Serena Williams has broken down in tears and cut short her post-match news conference, after her 6-3 6-4 defeat to Naomi Osaka in the Australian Open semi-finals.
Williams won her last major title at Melbourne Park in 2017, before taking a break from the sport to give birth to daughter Alexis Olympia, and has lost four major finals since returning to tennis the following year.
The 39-year-old, who is one Grand Slam title short of Margaret Court’s record, walked off Rod Laver Arena to a standing ovation, pausing for a moment to put her hand on her heart and wave to the crowd.
