Venus Williams se arriesga a una multa por saltarse la rueda de prensa de Wimbledon

Venus Williams podría enfrentarse a una multa de hasta 37.000 libras después de saltarse sus compromisos con los medios tras su partido en Wimbledon. La jugadora de 46 años declinó hablar después de una derrota en dobles mixtos en la Pista 14.

Williams, que formaba pareja con Kevin Krawietz mediante una invitación, perdió por 6-4 y 6-4 ante los séptimos cabezas de serie, Lloyd Glasspool y Tereza Mihalíková. No ofreció ninguna explicación por ausentarse de la obligatoria rueda de prensa, lo que la expone a una sanción según el reglamento de los Grand Slam.

Dicho reglamento establece que tanto los jugadores ganadores como los perdedores deben asistir a las sesiones con los medios tras los partidos, a menos que sean eximidos por los supervisores por razones médicas u otros motivos válidos. La misma norma se aplicó a su hermana Serena anteriormente en el torneo.

Serena evitó el castigo después de que su agente confirmara que se había lesionado la rodilla y había recibido autorización médica para saltarse la sesión. Hasta el momento, Venus no ha presentado una justificación similar.
