Tennis professional Dominic Thiem has continued his criticism of Serena Williams, accusing her of having a “bad personality” after he was booted from a press conference room at the French Open to make way for the women’s star.

“I don’t really get it, seriously. I mean, what the hell? No, but it’s a joke, really … I have to leave the room because she’s coming?” Thiem said.
“What’s my point of that? I have to leave the room because she’s coming. Well I’ll leave also then. I can also do whatever I want.”
He later accused Williams of having a “bad personality” in an interview with EuroSport.
“I wasn’t angry or frustrated. Maybe for a couple of minutes or so. It is just the principle,” he said in German.
“It doesn’t matter, if it is me who sits in there. I still made a wrong statement. I said that I am not a junior anymore. But even if a junior is in there, every player has to wait.
“It also shows a bad personality in my opinion. I am 100 percent sure (Roger) Federer or (Rafa) Nadal would never do something like that.”
Williams didn’t respond to Thiem’s claims, instead concentrating on her French Open failure.
“Yesterday was not my day. But it’s about getting up time and time again after you fall,” she wrote on Instagram following her surprise defeat to the unseeded Kenin.
Serena is a superstar, Thiem, not so much. She’s the one selling tickets to the tournaments.
Life isn’t always fair, so deal with it, and stop complaining.
