Venus fined $3,000
Venus Williams has been fined 3,000 dollars by tournament organisers for not attending a press conference following her first-round exit at the French Open.
After Williams, the 15th seed, lost 7-6, 6-1 to Sloane Stephens on Monday, she snubbed the media, instead issuing a short statement: “When you arrive at any tournament you hope you will have a chance to work your way into the event, but I didn't have that opportunity. She just played better than me today.”
