In a press conference after the match, a journalist asked Serena if she discussed tennis with Venus before the tournaments. The 23-time Grand Slam champion stated that after talking about tennis for so many years, they had stopped. "Honestly, we don't talk a lot about tennis," Williams said. "I think after a hundred years of talking tennis together we just, that's like a subject we don't talk about anymore really. But, yeah, it's good to just be around. And when she's around, it's just, it's cool. I mean, she's Venus Williams." In the second round, Serena awaits the winner of the match between Belinda Bencic and Tereza Martincova.

"I was happy to have a win, it's been a very long time. I forgot what it felt like."es.pn/3P70wIX A few rallies in the contest caused the spectators to stand and applaud. When asked about how she felt mentally and physically on the court, Williams expressed her satisfaction and suggested that she wanted more matches under her belt. "I feel good. I felt like I competed well today. Mentally, I feel I'm getting there. I'm not where I normally am and I'm not where I want to be. But I think any match that I play, whether I win or lose, it helps me get there mentally. Physically, I feel much better in practice, it's just like getting that to the court. I'm the kind of person who it just takes one or two things and then it clicks. So I'm just waiting on that to click," Williams said. × Rate this story! Thank You!
