Williams is a world champion who has spanned decades in the world of tennis, but reports have it that she owes 80% of her wins to her perfect serves. The serves are one of the reasons Williams stayed at the top of her game.

A few days before the Australian Open, the mom-of-one showed that she was very confident about her performances and how the games would turn out. The star noted that she would, however, stay careful.
