I used to watch my losses on TV to punish myself, says Serena Williams
Serena Williams confessed she used to watch her losses on TV in order to kind of punish herself. 'It was so painful', said Serena. 'It was like stabbing myself. (Laughter.) I don't like to do that. I have tried either not to lose or not to watch matches that I lost.'
Serena also spoke about probably her biggest weapon, the serve: 'My dad always had us hit a lot of serves. Before I played Wimbledon I hit a lot of serves, tons and tons and tons of serves. It definitely depends. I think it depends on how I'm feeling or how I feel about certain shots. It's a little bit of both.'
Serena also spoke about how she keeps being interested in tennis: 'I like trying new things. I like playing new things. I like walking out there on the court every day and playing my match. I think that keeps me going.'
Serena and her coach Patrick Mouratoglou have been working together since 2012. Serena has won a lot of Grand Slams since when she started co-operating with Mouratoglou. 'Obviously, he's a very serious guy, which is why I probably have never seen the twinkle. He takes his job and his life extremely serious', said Serena. 'I think he's really motivated I think that's great because we both are motivated to be at the top. I know it's always good to have someone on your team that feels the same way.'
