On Friday, Venus Williams and Jamie Murray won their opening Wimbledon doubles match and had to face the press.
One mindnumbingly stupid question got the scathing response it deserved.
This response from Venus Williams was brilliant
"What kind of question is that?!"

I reiterate, the literal stupidest questions in the history of sports journalism are almost all found in international tennis. It is not feature, it is not bug, it is tradition. https://t.co/5rO0LdOhZV

We can’t argue with Gary Taphouse.
The answer was way more respectful than the question deserved. https://t.co/KP39T3QavD
