While speaking in an interview during the TV show 'Home and Family', Williams confirmed her plans to play in the next Olympics.

The 36-year-old believes she can still clinch many more victories in the tournaments ahead.
"Where there's a will, there's a way, I definitely have the will, so I think I will keep finding the way. I feel like I'm going to get more (wins) as the future goes on," she added.
