I should have more than 23 Grand Slam titles, says Serena Williams
Serena Williams did not have too many interviews prior to the US Open. The American player was asked about potentially winning her 24th Grand Slam title in New York. "I mean, I would be happy, but at the same time I just feel like I should have more", said Williams. "It's just the last Grand Slam of the year and I feel like [for] me in particular, I really train all year for Grand Slams, so it's like -- OK I'm training again for the last one -- and then it's just ... it's good for it to be it."
About her beginnings on Tour, Williams added: "I played against some people I definitely admired -- it was really cool. But when I went there [and played them] it was so intense...I know what it was like to play against people that I grew up watching -- and then just obsessing over. Then playing them and then knowing that, yeah, I'm still a fan even to this day. But when you're on the court you just kind of go for it,"
On her off-court activities, Williams concluded: "You know, it's been fun. I'm sitting on a couple of boards and I think that's really interesting. SurveyMonkey, I just had a board meeting from 1 to 5 today, and I feel like that is some of the most rewarding work outside of what I do for venture. But it's interesting because I like to educate myself and learn how do I help another company with my ideas and my recommendations. Sitting on a board is really about learning about the company and offering good advice...so that's really cool. I just wish I had looked at it that way when I first got on the board, but now that I do, hopefully, I can bring much more. To SurveyMonkey in particular."
