Fine mess for Williams

VENUS WILLIAMS is close to completing a career slam – of fines from all the Majors for swerving post-match interviews.

Williams had the wind taken out of her sails a day after reaching the final when she was penalised £5,740 for avoiding the media following her quarter-final win over Jelena Ostapenko (above).

She was knocked back £9,000 for dodging press conferences at the 2016 Australian Open, the 2015 French Open and Wimbledon 2010.

Just the US Open to go now for a full set.
