World Number nine Williams is now 12 sets away from her long-awaited 24th major crown. She has been coming to Melbourne since 1998. Also, Serena won her last slam in Australia while she was eight weeks pregnant with her daughter Olympia. “I felt like I started out really well,” Williams said. “I played really strong in the first set, and just built on that. I feel like I can still improve and get better throughout this tournament, for sure. This is a good stepping stone for right now.”
Two weeks ago Serena won her first title since 2017 in Auckland and spoke about her victory there. “I think, so to say, a monkey off my back, kind of. It was very important for me to get a win in the final. It felt like a relief. Yeah, like I could move forward now,” she said.
