So, you're gonna have to explain yourself, by the way, because you're 31 years old, and a lot of the people that you came into the game with are retired ,-- >> Yeah. >> playing legends games. How are you playing like a 20- year- old? >> I just feel like I just go for broke now. And I really am focused again on what I wanna do and just goals and, you know, I'm just having a lot of fun out there. And everyone is like, 31, and like, " Oh, 31 is old ." But that doesn't seem like me, you know. It seems like, you know, I don't act it either. So, maybe, that has something to do with it. >> Former President Clinton was at your final's match.

It was really 11 months of hell, but, you know, I got through that. And now, I feel like, you know, now, when I'm on that court and I'm facing opponents, I feel like I've faced so many tougher opponents. So, this is just fun now. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Serena Williams Talks About Winning U.S. Open","description":" ","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/RoRkO2Rl/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2013-09-09T15:02:53.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/RoRkO2Rl.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/RoRkO2Rl/","duration":"PT2M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/RoRkO2Rl/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
