Four-time Wimbledon champ,Venus Williams is on the hunt for her fifth win in the prestigious tournament. The tennis star spoke recently about what #5 would mean to her, reports Eurweb.
"I'm definitely not a crier. I'm the happiest winner ever, but I think maybe I would even cry if I do it," said Williams.
Wimbledon is a favorite for Venus, who is ranked 7th in the world.
"I just think it's the ultimate place to play your best tennis. The most wonderful tournament to win would definitely be here. I've been blessed to do well a few times here, so that feels obviously very good. I just love it here. It's good for my game too," she said. "It's always extremely exciting coming back as the defending champion. It's nice to have the memories from last year all kind of flowing into this year.
Williams has won Wimbledon four times since 2000 - the latest win occuring in 2007 over the top-ranked French female player, Marion Bartoli.
"Of course I think about what a fifth title would be like," she said. "But I know that I'm gonna have to work for it. I'm willing to pay that price."
Venus believes her stiffest competition will come from her sister Serena.
"I have the most respect for Serena as a player on tour. Definitely I see her as a player who can produce any shot at any time from anywhere," she said.
