She took questions from the press immediately after the match.

But she didn't answer them.

The poster implied that she had not faced the media. I thought her answers in a difficult situation only 15 minutes after the heat of the moment were pretty reasonable.

I guess I missed that part where she acknowledged what she said/did and apologized.

Here is what columnist Bill Dwyer had to say about the interview:

---------------------------------

As bad as this incident was, leaving a three-quarters-filled Arthur Ashe Stadium in near stunned silence, worse was Williams' handling of the aftermath in a news conference. There, she had a chance to apologize, or maybe even fake some remorse. She did neither.

Instead, we got the usual, phony, sing-songy deflections and silly answers -- all done with a big smile, as if she had just won, 6-0, 6-0.

Even on Sunday night, she still can’t apologize thanking her fans for “understanding”.

“Last night everyone could truly see the passion I have for my job. Now that I have had time to gain my composure, I can see that while I don’t agree with the unfair line call, in the heat of battle I let my passion and emotion get the better of me and as a result handled the situation poorly. I would like to thank my fans and supporters for understanding that I am human and I look forward to continuing the journey, both professionally and personally, with you all as I move forward and grow from this experience.”
