42-year-old Wimbledon legend Venus Williams gave a hilarious response to a reporter during a Wimbledon press-conference, alongside her mixed doubles partner Jamie Murray.
The reporter asked "So are you in it to win it? Or is the first target just to get past the third round where Serena and Andy came a copper?", and Venus was clearly not too impressed with the question that suggested she may not possess that winning mentality anymore.
"What kind of question is that? We're in it for a stroll? Come on," replied the five time Wimbledon champion with a cheeky grin on her face.
The reporter sensed that he might get an even better response so he pressed on and asked again, "Are you here for the experience or are you going all the way?"
Venus then hit back with a brilliantly witty zinger,
Are you going to write a good article or just a half-way decent one?
This response from Venus Williams was brilliant 😅

Venus and Jamie Murray will play their round of 16 match at Wimbledon tomorrow.
Venus had also spoken earlier in the week on why she decided to come back and play the mixed doubles tournament at Wimbledon with Andy Murray's brother Jamie.
"It was definitely super last minute. I was just inspired by Serena. It was amazing. I just was so happy to have so much help today.
"I've been trying to play with [Jamie] forever. He plays hard to get!
"I had no plan to play but I saw the grass and I got excited. That's why I was asking [Jamie] last minute. He just had a baby, too, so I know there's a lot going on.
"I couldn't have guessed that I would be here right now, taking it at the last minute. I haven't played in a year, so you don't know what you're going to get.
"Practice is so much different from a match. It's not easy physically or mentally or anything. Just at the last it was like, 'Oh my God, wow.'
"I just not only played a match but won a match. I'm never like that kind of player. I always expect to win.
"When I sat there, we wanted to win, but when I sat there at the end, it was real. Yeah, I felt something in my heart."
