"Pressure? What pressure?," asks Serena Williams at Wimbledon

Rediff.com26 Jun 2016

Considering she also fell at the final hurdle in Australia against Angelique Kerber and went out of the U.S. Open semi-finals last year when two wins away from a calendar grand slam, Williams would be forgiven for feeling a little edgy.
