23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams has been eyeing that elusive 24th Grand Slam title since the 2017 Australian Open. However, she failed on every occasion to date and as a result, also failed to match Margaret Court’s record number of Major titles (24).

It’s not like she did not have the opportunity, as she reached 2 US Open finals and 2 Wimbledon finals in between. After retiring from Wimbledon last year, she missed three more Grand Slam tournaments. Now, she is finally back in her favorite Grand Slam in Wimbledon, which she won 7 times in her career. During the pre-tournament press conference, she made it clear why she was here.
