Serena Williams demanded a reporter to apologise after posing a critical question about her performance in the win over Lucie Safarova.

The six-time Australian Open champion snapped when it was suggested it was a 'scrappy performance' in the 6-3, 6-4 win.

The fiery response comes hours after the 35-year-old's sister was the subject of alleged racist remarks. ESPN commentator Doug Adler was highly criticised after likening her playing style to a gorilla.

The reporter surmised that it 'looked a little bit of a scrappy performance,' as reported by the New York Times' Ben Rothenberg , before Serena snapped back.

Serena said: "I think that's a very negative thing to say. Are you serious?"

"Just my observation," replied the reporter.

<>"Well, you should have been out there," Williams said back. "That wasn't very kind. You should apologise. Do you want to apologise?"

"I do. I'm sorry," confirmed the reporter.

Williams appeared content after receiving her apology, crediting the former world number five for pushing her.

A third-round match with compatriot Nicole Gibbs is next up in her pursuit of a 23rd singles Grand Slam.
