Serena Williams expects to build off fifth championship

WIMBLEDON, England – Even at the age of 30, with a 2-year gap since her last Grand Slam title and a long list of recent health problems, Serena Williams is hoping she’s just getting started on something big.

Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title on
Saturday – and 14th Grand Slam overall – to mark the culmination of an improbable comeback. With her health restored and her game back at its best, she’s not planning on slowing down anytime soon.

“It’s the beginning of a great phase,” Williams said after beating Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 on Centre Court. “I feel amazing out there. This whole tournament I felt really great physically. So it’s definitely the beginning of something great. I hope it is.”
