SERENA WILLIAMSI am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.
SERENA WILLIAMSI’m an athlete and I’m black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I’m paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, ‘You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.’

SERENA WILLIAMSI wish I could play like Roger Federer.
