| 0:00.0 | Well Serena, many congratulations. Another title, a sixth overall, a record title, but I think |
| 0:07.3 | just hearing you speak just now, I think one of the things that really stood out for me is that |
| 0:11.2 | even then you weren't completely satisfied. You said you were going to go and look at the video |
| 0:16.1 | and I think perhaps people would be surprised by that. It gives an insight into your, I suppose, |
| 0:21.2 | your perfectionism. The mind inside of a mind of a maniac. I feel like I am just a maniac. I am |
| 0:28.3 | no, I feel like I just do things I could do better and I just whole week I wasn't really satisfied |
| 0:35.6 | and I want to, you know, I want to get better and I think when I feel like I can get better |
| 0:40.0 | something that keeps me going and keeps me motivated. I look at your record and it stretches back |
| 0:45.4 | 15 years. Extraordinary to think that. What is keeping you going? What is driving you Serena? |
| 0:52.6 | I feel like if I can play tennis and I can be the best or I can win grand slams or any of those |
| 0:59.6 | things that motivates me, it keeps me going and I live for those moments, I live for the moment, |

| 1:11.3 | I'm good at and so it keeps me motivated. And you have 15 grand slam titles, do you |
| 1:16.9 | know more ready? How big a goal and incentive are those history books? They usually weren't |
| 1:23.3 | incentive in the beginning and maybe that was a mistake but they're big incentive now because |
| 1:28.7 | I'm close to them but I'm still really far away even though I'm so close because each match, |
| 1:34.2 | you know, you put everything on the line if you lose your out. And you are only three away, |
| 1:40.0 | I mean it's still a lot. It's so close but it's so far still so it's like, you know, it seems so |
| 1:45.2 | reachable but, you know, with players playing so well, it's definitely not easy. It's Chris Everton, |
| 1:52.3 | Martin and Avratel over who are on 18 grand slam titles. How aware are you of that? Is that in your |
| 1:57.2 | sights? It isn't my sights but like I said, I'll just take it one step at a time. Who knows |
| 2:02.9 | I'll ever even win another one but I'll be, I mean 15 is great, it's not anything to complain about. |
