Venus made a huge statement when she rejected to play a game against Joe “Josepheena” LaBarron of France. LaBarron is from France.
It was also said by her that “I’m not trying to be the next Billie Jean King.” For the sake of charity or for pleasure, I will play any guy, but this is my primary source of income. Venus asserts that she has never been defeated by a male competitor in a competition since she has never taken part in one and she has no intention of beginning to do so at this time.
On her way out, Venus raised her fist, which won her a standing ovation from the audience.
