Serena Williams isn't kicking back on the couch after capturing her record-extending eighth Miami Open championship on Saturday.

The world No. 1 joins New York's most famous high kickers — the Rockettes — in a new commercial for Chase.

Check out Serena's fierce practice form at the start of the commercial above.

The 19-time Grand Slam champion reveals she relies on her former Fed Cup and Olympic captain Billie Jean King's advice when times get tough.

"The best advice I've gotten early on was from Billie Jean King, she told me 'Pressure is a privilege,' " Williams says in an extended version of the ad below. "Throughout my career that's helped me out a lot. I've been under a lot of pressure. But every time I feel it I just say, 'It's a privilege to be under this pressure.' "

Former hitting partner Sascha Bajin makes a cameo in the commercial.

"Tennis especially is a real mental game," Serena says. "You have to challenge yourself and be able to come out with a lot of different answers at different times."
