Martina Navratilova called out Camila Giorgi after the Italian screamed in delight following Venus Williams’ hard fall. During the first set of their Birmingham clash, Williams took a hard fall after which Giorgi was heard screaming in delight.
When Williams got up, she gave a pretty cold stare to Giorgi. Fortunately for 43-year-old Williams, she was able to continue the match and later clinch a 7-6 (5) 4-6 7-6 (6) win over 48th-ranked Giorgi in the Birmingham first round.
“Serves her right. Venus kicked her butt anyway!!! How disgusting from Giorgi if that is how it happened,” Navratilova said. Rennae Stubbs responded: “Oh it did. I even had to rewind the point to make sure it was her. Was so bad!”

“Wow! That’s worse than what Bouzkova and Sorribes did at RG.
Totally disgraceful,”
Navratilova added.
