The ITF's Katrina Adams stays on the front lines for women with the Tory Burch Foundation Sports Fellowship

Asked whether Venus and Jamie could surpass siblings Serena and Andy, who reached the third round in 2019, the elder Williams sister took understandable umbrage.

“What kind of question is that?” she said before adding sarcastically. “We're in it for a stroll. C'mon.”

Pressed further on her exact motivations to enter the Championships and whether she and Murray were here “to go all the way,” Venus shot back a question of her own.

“Are you going to write a good article or a halfway decent one?”

“I’m going to do what I usually do,” the journalist replied.

“Us too,” said Venus.

After almost three decades on tour, one should know: the Williams sisters—and the Murray brothers—are never not in it to win it.
