I don't play tennis at all.
It's disappointing to have lost - that's the bee's knees of it.
My role is to think about tennis and to help Serena [Williams] be the best she can be and do what she wants to achieve.
She [Serena Williams] played some great shots, but so did I, and that was the only difference.
When the Williams sisters play tennis, it gets pretty hot. When they start grunting, I'm in.
