My only concern at this point is if Venus can clear her head and focus on tennis and Wimbledon. Vee is more cerebral and emotional so I hope this doesn't weigh on her too much and affect her energy. She can be a real threat here so I hope she can clear her mind for 2 weeks and block this out.

"I am devasted (sic) and heartbroken by this accident," wrote Williams, the world's former top-ranked female tennis player. "My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Jerome Barson and I continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers."

Not sure if Venus reads her FB comments, but nice to see messages of
love and support for her and that family.

WIMBLEDON, England — Venus Williams had withstood a thorny match on the No. 1 Court on the opening day of Wimbledon and then veered through several questions in the quiet interview room, avoiding the looming subject. Then she took it on squarely.

“There are no words to describe, like, how devastating and, yeah,” she said Monday afternoon, her sentences trailing off. “Yeah, I am completely speechless. It’s just — yeah, I mean, I’m just . . .” She began to cry, and the moderator asked reporters for patience while a five-time Wimbledon champion sat before a silent room.

She has to put her foot down or they'll ask her these questions after every round.

She has her mother, her sister, and David. They'll help her hold herself together.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#The media is being the media, disgusting as always. They don't care about her or #ed_op#br#ed_cl#that anyone died. They just want salacious stories and making her cry is their sick#ed_op#br#ed_cl#delight! #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#One thing I've observed about Venus over the years from press, she's not a confrontational#ed_op#br#ed_cl#type, but if she feels backed into a corner she will come out swinging. If they keep their#ed_op#br#ed_cl#nonsense up as the tournament progresses she'll snap at them and put them in their #ed_op#br#ed_cl#place!
