To still be competitive, especially after all of the physical issues she's had throughout her career. Hopefully, she can remain healthy enough to win those final 2 singles slams which will push her PAST Margaret Court.
Serena is the 🐐

On the Australian Open, January 19, 2019
Serena Williams recalls being in the position of young Dayana Yastremska, an ambitious and highly talented teenager overcome with emotion in the disappointment of defeat.
The 37-year-old progressed with ruthless efficiency but it was her grace towards the 18-year-old after the match that had a lasting impact, on her opponent at least.
Yastremska, who wasnt even born when the American won her first major singles title in 1999, was in tears as she walked around the net to shake the hand of her childhood hero. She left the court lifted by Williams words.
She said dont cry, youre still young ... come on you dont have to cry, the Ukrainian said.

is unflattering. I really wish shed wear a regular dress, like she did at Hopman Cup.
Im pulling for Kvitty. My draw picks have been dreadful this tourney and I have Serena making the final, but so far Ive been the kiss of death.,
