- Williams beat Romania's Mihaela Buzărnescu in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday.
Venus Williams gave a hilarious response to a reporter who jokingly asked her about her love life following her first-round victory at Wimbledon.
The 41-year-old beat Romania's Mihaela Buzărnescu 7-5, 4-6, and 6-3 on Tuesday, shortly after which she fielded questions live on ESPN.
Williams was initially asked by a presenter about the secret to her "longevity." She laughed and responded: "I don't know. I'm tired of talking about it. Can't you ask me something else?"
Tennis great and cohost Chris Evert did as Williams requested, asking her, "How's your love life?"
William's response was comedy gold.
"I'm VERRRRY single," she said as she and the ESPN panel erupted into laughter. "I might be undateable, actually."
Evert then said, "You and me both."
Williams has never been married, but she's had a number of public relationships over the years, including with former PGA Tour golfer Hank Kuehne and publishing heir Nicholas Hammond.
While Williams enjoyed a great start to this year's Wimbledon, her sister Serena unfortunately did not.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner was forced to withdraw from the tournament during her first-round match against Belarus' Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Tuesday after she injured her leg.
Serena was in tears as she left Centre Court to a standing ovation from the crowd.
"I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today after injuring my right leg," she wrote on Instagram after the match.
"My love and gratitude are with the fans and the team who make being on centre court so meaningful. Feeling the extraordinary warmth and support of the crowd today when I walked on - and off - the court meant the world to me."
