Serena Williams Play Quotations

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

The knee just isn't 100 percent. It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.

I always say if I play my best it's difficult to beat me

It's remarkable she [Venus Williams] plays at all, given her Sjögren's syndrome [an autoimmune disorder that can cause joint pain]. She's back, winning tournaments. She didn't allow society to tell her, "You have this disease; you can't do that anymore." I look at her, like, "She's not playing at 100 percent. You are. You don't have excuses." Knowing what she went through helped me try to be a more positive person.

Everybody who plays me plays me so hard because they always want to beat me.

I wish I could play like Roger Federer.

It's a lot of bling to play with. You got to have the bling.

Honestly, I could get in a car accident today and never play tennis again, and then I wouldn't have anything to fall back on. But fortunately enough, I do.

You can't play well if you don't look good.

I figure J-Lo does all these movies and all these videos and all this other stuff...I know I can play tennis and act and do photo shoots and model. I know I can do all that.

I'm like a chameleon. I can kind of change and get my game going to whatever the situation is. If I play well, which I don't think I've even reached yet at all in this tournament, it's really hard for anyone to beat me.

I was having an out-of-body experience, it was so hot. I felt I was watching someone play in a blue dress, and it wasn't me.
