Who’s the Boss? Venus Williams Calls Out Opponent’s Stare-Down

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Here’s a word of advice: Don’t mess with Venus Williams, because she will call you out, without hesitation. During a recent victory over Barbora Zahlavova-Strycova in Qatar, Williams had to check her opponent after receiving a stare-down.

During the match’s final set, Zahlavova-Strycova wasn’t pleased with the calls, and when she was defeated, she gave Williams a death stare. But to her shock and dismay, Williams called her out on it.

“Was that look for something?” Williams asked.

“Well done?” Zahlavova-Strycova replied.

“OK, good,” Williams stated.

In other words, don’t start none, won’t be none.

Williams heads back to the court Thursday.
