Talking about it, she described a typical joke she routinely tells the 23-time Grand Slam champion. She said, “Serena and I used to always joke that in tennis we would say carry me off in the stretcher but I’m going to do what it takes to win and we would always say that we were on a stretcher and we’d be like doing the peace sign right before we expired but whatever it took and that’s the attitude you got to have in life.”
