Tennis player Serena Williams criticized The New York Times after the newspaper printed an incorrect photo.

In an article about Serena Williams’ new capital venture fund, instead of printing a photo of her, the Times published a photo of her sister, Venus Williams.

Serena Williams responded in a tweet, saying, ā€œNo matter how far we come, we get reminded that it’s not enough. This is why I raised $111M for . To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases. Because even I am overlooked. You can do better .ā€

The Times responded, ā€œThis was our mistake. It was due to an error when selecting photos for the print edition, and it did not appear online. A correction will appear in tomorrow’s paper.ā€

On Tuesday, the Times reported Serena Williams raised an inaugural fund of $111 million to ā€œinvest in founders with diverse points of view.ā€

Serena Williams said, ā€œI’ve always been fascinated with technology, and I’ve always loved how it really shapes our lives.ā€

She added, ā€œWhen I met my husband, that was our first conversation. That’s how we met. I was talking about investments.ā€

According to the newspaper, Serena Williams was inspired by a conversation between Caryn Seidman-Becker, the chief executive of the security company Clear, and Jamie Dimon, the head of JPMorgan Chase.

The Times noted Seidman-Becker said during an event that less than two percent of venture money was granted to women.

ā€œI go up to her afterward and asked, ā€˜Tell me about this 2 percent — I know maybe you misspoke,'ā€ Serena Williams said.

She continued, ā€œAnd she says, ā€˜No, it’s true.’ And I literally couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that 98 percent of all of this money we’re talking about — billions of dollars — goes to one type of individual.ā€
