In a
press interview Venus Williams reflected on what she was doing eight years ago when she won the first of her grand slam titles at Wimbledon. Her answer? Reading
Harry Potter.
Quote:
"I'm not sure what that girl in 2000 was thinking," seventh seed Williams said after dispatching Thailand's Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4 6-3 in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
"I think she was reading a Harry Potter book. The 28-year-old Venus also reads the Harry Potter book, so not much has changed. It's still good times, and I love that," she grinned.
