SERENA Williams called on Wimbledon chiefs to beef up their security after the four-time champion's 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 victory over Yaroslava Shvedova was marred when she was mobbed by frenzied fans on the way back from Court Two on Monday.
"I was totally mobbed. I literally was almost knocked over after the match. It was crazy out there today," Serena said. "I guess that comes with the territory. There was tons of security guards in there just going nuts and screaming. I've never heard them scream so loud.
"Maybe that can be taken into consideration. I think they should take that into account. I wasn't scared. Nobody going to knock me over for real! I'd like to see that happen. You guys know how I can get," she said.
