Pironkova celebrates shock win 3/4
Bulgarian teenager Tszvetana Pironkova
said she had not been overawed about
playing Venus Williams, after beating
the Wimbledon champion in Melbourne.
"I have known about Venus for a long
time but when I go on court I am a
professional so I should not think she
was kind of my idol before," she said.
"I was a little nervous at the start,
then in the break between the sets I
told myself to relax and play my game.
"After one day I have another match so
I don't think I should celebrate."
