Serena Williams did not attend the press conference after the defeat at Wimbledon, a gesture considered ugly by journalists.

Serena Williams, at 44 years old, sparked controversy after she decided not to attend the press conference following her match lost to Maya Joint (20 years old) at Wimbledon. Although she was greeted with applause upon leaving the court, Williams chose to communicate through her PR team, leaving journalists without answers. This decision was labeled as "surprising" by observers, considering her status as a tennis legend with 23 Grand Slam titles. Her gesture was interpreted as a cold reaction, and her absence from the conference left many in anticipation, wondering if she would provide an explanation in the coming days. Williams thus concluded a return to singles that ended abruptly in the first round of the tournament.
