If depreciating someone makes it being the greatest quote ever to you, then it tells me something is really wrong with your head. Getting the rise out of negativity. Dinara's only fault was not to win any slams for you to laugh at someone being disrespectful to her. Were you the bully in your class?
David Bacus LOL. One of the press guys literally starts to GUFFAW! I haven't heard anyone do that for years LOL. And another guy's voice almost goes up an octave - it was that funny. LMAO.
This was hysterical. "My motivation is maybe just to win another grand slam and stay number two I guess" 🤣. Can't believe this was the first time I've seen this.
But was she #1 at the time? 😂 Heck, I remember when Serena was #81 when she won in Oz. And I could've sworn Venus won a Rosewater Dish when she was...#31? #34? The ratings have BEEN trash.
She was talking about Safina the world number one at that time, who has won Rome and Madrid, comparing to her who has won in the last 12 months, the US Open, Australian Open, and recently Wimbledon. Very funny since she was spontaneous, and she hasn't acted in bad faith :)
She won Charleston, Rome and Madrid in 2013, but she ended with FO title. This is how you should win Rome and Madrid as no.1, as preparation for Grand Slam glory.
MrKoval92 Yes i was just going to write this. I have watched this over and over again and was going to write, serena backs up what she says. She won rome and madrid but she won the french open and that's what matters.
Zona Parks lol. I think after dinara retired, she said something like.. "let Serena try playing a full year like she did, she earned the #1 ranking" or words to that effect. Guess what in 2013, Serena played a full schedule, (according to Serena's standards lol) The rest is history as they say. Serena smashed the record books. Starting with... Oldest #1, highest prize money in a single year, over 12million usd, Serena also won some 11 titles including FO, and US open AND the WTA finals. Serena also won her 17th GS title, one of only 4 women to achieve that feat in the open era. Thats how you become #1, and remain number 1 for over 114 consecutive weeks... UNDISPUTED.
@@justarandomdarkoaklog7147 they're not grand slams and I don't think serena played those tournaments. So getting the number 1 ranking for winning those events doesn't seem right
Shade is basically always 100% okay as long as the punchline lands. Serena killed this presser. Even the person you shade has to basically just give you kudos for having such nuanced reads with incredible delivery.
Djokovic has broken his rackets in anger on more than a couple occasions, Azarenka throws fits during most of her matches. During her match with Ekaterina Makarova at Madrid Open 2013, she got so angry that she broke her racket. Even Federer curses at umpires and throws fits too. Serena's passionate about her game. Her love for tennis is evident. Tennis can get really intense and takes a lot from a player. So, its pretty common that many players, NOT only Serena, lose their cool during games.
Nadal intentionally bumped Lukas Rosol on a changeover at Wimbeldon. Lleyton Hewitt suggested that a US Open linesman called a fault because both he and his opponent were Black. Irina Spirlea intentionally bumped Venus Williams on a changeover at the USO.
I'm not really a Serena fan, but I gotta say I thought this interview was hilarious, and Dinara being #1 back in '09 was definitely a fluke in hindsight, so her saying this is understandable and funny lol
Yeah, in the past, around that time you had Jankovic, Safina, and Wozniacki as World Number 1's. None of which won a major. Could you imagine the same thing on the men's tour? They'd probably lose a ton of funding.
Serena won 11 titles that year alone which included 3 Grand Slams. A lot of players don't have 11 titles their entire career. She's a miracle. This is still hilarious in 2021
@@thrshwll1526 she didn't win 11 titles in 2009 but in 2002. You said "she won 11 titles that year alone" which implies that you thought the video was from 2002
It’s her holding in the laugh while she’s saying “She won Rome and Madrid.” that KILLS me. 2021 and this is still the funniest, shadiest tennis press conference.
Watching this in 2018 while wimbledon is on--- and guess what? This Italian dude is still asking Serena questions in her Press Conference's , nearly 10yrs on!! 😂😂😂
It really wasn't meant as shade but at the end of the day, 2 top tier events versus 3 Grand Slams, and Serena is number 2 behind Dinara? That doesn't quite add up. But for me the funniest thing was her throwing shade at the WTA.
I know Im late but thank the lord for the thoughtful person who added this link in today's press conference. This is beyond hilarious!!!! 2019 and still funny!!!
If the Williams sisters can get away with only playing a limited number of events and peak for the majors then good luck to them. In my opinion Serena Williams deserves the world number one ranking.
I LOVE the digs at the WTA tour and its foolish ranking system. So many "fluke" Number Ones over the past five, six years should have them REALLY look at ranking basis. I would say this about any player, even if the shoe was on the other foot. It's odd.
Jamaal A. Bivens yes it's stupid. They should reward you on grand slams you win and how well you do in the other major events during the year. Instead they award points on quantity of tournments played not quality.
?! Serena's not "putting down" Dinara's "efforts!" She's justifiably calling into question a flawed ranking system. And she's doing it with humor. A "spoonful of sugar" helps the medicine go down -- and all of that!
July 2024 and this interview is still peak shade and simply iconic. Serena was just so over it, she couldn't hold it in anymore. I miss this drama in the current WTA tour, they're either all friends or boring.
Blessings 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾 I play this ever so often, it's the funniest interview of all time. Serena hit one after the other. Proud of this family example and achievements. Blessings 🙏🏾❤🌹🇹🇹🙏🏾
I feel sorry for Dinara Safin but this is funny and Dinara ended up playing that much tennis she ended hating the game like her brother Marat. They were both awesome tennis players.
"She won Rome and Madrid."This is the single greatest quote in the HISTORY of all of tennis. EVER!
lmaaaoooo ikk

Justice Rule Bro you're taking this situation WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too seriously.
So disrespectful!
I think Sharapova’s winner speech over Azarenka “my opponent extremely injured today...” is a close 2nd haha
The laughter coming from the press says it all!
David Bacus LOL. One of the press guys literally starts to GUFFAW! I haven't heard anyone do that for years LOL. And another guy's voice almost goes up an octave - it was that funny. LMAO.

Right a lot of people missed what she was saying there lol

Three Grand Slams that year alone

"I think Dinara did a great job getting to #1. I mean she won Rome & Madrid." Journalists burst out laughing HARD!!!
4 years later, Serena also won Rome and Madrid, along with two GS including the FO.
But was she #1 at the time? 😂 Heck, I remember when Serena was #81 when she won in Oz. And I could've sworn Venus won a Rosewater Dish when she was...#31? #34? The ratings have BEEN trash.
6 years later and I'm laughing just as much as when I saw this the first time. Too damn funny.
James Myers me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
12 years later🤣
Just came for the laughs hahahaha
😂 the sarcasm from Serena is spot on, priceless. the press was loving this and asking instigating type questions lol
I'm crying laughing. Shade was in the air that day.

Yep. She tried, and failed, to keep a straight face.
i love serena's chemistry with fans and just people in general! makes her an even bigger champ
Watching this in September 2023 after Coco became the first American teen to win the US Open since Serena in ‘99. STILL hilarious 😂😂😂
Black teen, not so called "american"
All that unabashed, immaculate SHADE. This is truly the peak of WTA.
lmao, this is so wonderful and shady...you can see her trying to keep a straight face as she say Rome and Madrid and just fail miserably. I love it
