Serena: Ready For Record Run
NEW YORK—
Serena Williams
is two sets from matching Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam titles.
There's two reasons why Williams believes she's best prepared to do it.

Serena Streaks Into 10th US Open Final
The 37-year-old Williams is fully fit and says she's had more time to train for this US Open and seize history after three straight Grand Slam final losses.
"I felt more prepared this tournament," Williams told the media after sweeping Elina Svitolina to reach her 10th US Open final. "Wimbledon I probably had a week to prepare, so that was amazing. Australia, I was super prepared. I did great, then rolled my ankle. I shouldn't have even played the French Open.
"That was just a bonus just to compete in another Grand Slam. I just feel like I actually had time to train. I joked I trained more for Canada than I did for any other tournament this year, which was kind of funny. I just had a really tough year with injuries, mostly bad luck. I just needed to get injury-free."
The six-time US Open champion said even if she'd already broken Court's all-time record, she'd still be competing.
"I definitely would still be playing if I had already passed it," Williams said. "I've had so many chances to pass it and to have a lot more, but it's cool because I'm playing in an era with five eras with so many amazing players.
"If you look at the span of the career, the players I've played, it's amazing that I was able to get this many."
