“Yeah, Serena is one of my closest friends. Our relationship has evolved into that and it’s been awesome. She’s been an inspiration to not only me but everyone else to watch her go through her when she was pregnant. Having her child and then come back and then play as well as she has, getting to the finals of US Open, Wimbledon, I mean it’s unbelievable what she’s done. The way she’s dominated the game for such a long period of time, that just doesn’t happen in that sport.
