Serena Williams had a cranky response to a reporter who asked why she wasn't smiling during late-night interviews on Thursday. Williams stayed up past her bedtime answering questions for sportswriters, but said,

"It's 11:30. I don't, to be perfectly honest, want to be here. I just want to be in bed right now and I have to wake up early for practice."

On Friday, the tennis star's hopes for a Grand Slam were dashed in a shocking upset against 43rd-ranked Roberta Vinci of Italy.
