She wears every thought and emotion on her sleeve

“Love? I think it's important to have it in your life, I guess. I’m not an expert on that subject,” said Williams, whose stellar run coincides with her partnership with French coach Patrick Mouratoglou, who has also been linked romantically with the American world number one.

“Everyone says you get one. Some people say you get two. I’m definitely in love with tennis right now,” Williams, a towering figure in crystal spike heels adorned in gold rhinestones and wearing a black blazer over a mini-dress, added coyly with a smile.

Williams, who will turn 32 later this month, became the oldest women's winner of the U.S. Open since tennis turned professional in 1968 when she claimed her fifth U.S. Open title.

She said being “fierce” on the court was critical, but just as important was tempering that fiery emotion with composure.

“I’m better at being calm, more relaxed,” said Williams, who still wears emotion on her sleeve in the glare of big matches, screaming at herself, gesturing and muttering in an interior dialogue to find the right mix of calm and fire.
