Serena Williams did not have to battle that hard to overcome Julia Goerges of Germany at the French Open on Saturday. Probably, she was more stressed at the press conference where she was asked questions relating to Maria Sharapova. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a reporter asked Serena a question he'd been longing to ask for 14 years.
Here's the conversation between the journalist and Serena:
Reporter: After the 2004 Wimbledon match with Maria, I had the opportunity to interview Donald Trump and he said that Maria's shoulders were incredibly alluring and then he came up with this extraordinary analysis: That you were intimidated by her supermodel good looks.

My question is: Have you ever been intimidated by anyone on a tennis court, and what are your thoughts about the occurrence?
Serena: I honestly don't have any thoughts about that. I can't say I have been intimidated by anyone. That's it.
Meanwhile, Serena said the claims made in Sharapova's book were "hearsay" and not "necessarily true." In it, the Russian described how she heard Serena sobbing loudly in the locker room after the 2004 Wimbledon final and claimed that defeat was the reason behind the American's dominant record over her.
