Here is the relevant extract of the interview:

 

Q. They billed this as Nadal as the warmup act for your match. How does that make you feel?

 

SERENA WILLIAMS: Really? That's pretty awesome. I'm excited about that. That's cool. I'm really happy to be here. That makes it even better.

 

Q. It's like Coldplay warming up for Green Day.

 

SERENA WILLIAMS: I could see that. Yeah, I would never see Green Day warming up for Coldplay.

 

 

The guy who wrote the article said the following about the quote:

 

The bit about Coldplay and Green Day is a little confusing — I think maybe the interviewer is saying the bands are equally famous, albeit different. Williams, however, seems to think Green Day is the bigger deal — and in this, at least, I agree with her.
