- Williams opens up about career-worst loss to Konta on 1 August
- Konta’s 6-1, 6-0 win marked heaviest defeat of Serena’s career
Serena Williams has addressed the extenuating circumstances around her shocking collapse against Johanna Konta at a tournament in San Jose earlier this month, saying her focus was compromised upon hearing the man convicted of killing her half-sister, Yetunde Price, had been released from prison only minutes before she took to court.
The 23-time grand slam singles champion suffered the heaviest defeat of her career in a 6-1, 6-0 defeat to the British No 1, marking the first time she has ever lost a match without winning at least two games.
