As Mouratoglou asked Williams what she needed, Williams had a rather amusing response. She asked Mouratoglou if he could find someone who could work on her nails, citing how bad they looked. “Do you think you can find someone to do my nails? They can come to the hotel. Look how bad they are.”

Her coach said that he would help her find someone and send them to her room. She then added that she needed false nails. “I think I need to do the false nails.”

Williams did not divert from her practice session

While one may think that Williams had diverted her mind from the training session and had her priorities mixed up. However, she is known as The Queen of the Court for a reason. Williams realized that it was time to get back on the court for hitting practice. “I shouldn’t be thinking about my nails right now.” She also spoke the mind of everyone present in that situation, “My priorities are messed up.”
