Despite dominating the year by winning three Grand Slam titles in 2015, World No.1 Serena Williams believes she is playing better this year. Williams is once again on the cusp of a historic achievement. Only seventh seed Angelique Kerber stands in the way of the 34-year-old landing a 22nd singles major trophy to draw level with Steffi Graf in the history books. "I kind of relish every win and every final and every match now. I think, maybe in the past I didn't as much. I was just like going through the motions," Williams said. "Even though I was super excited, I just feel like now it's even more exciting." The world No.1 holds a 5-1 lead in head-to-head matches with the powerful leftie but Williams remains wary of the threat presented by Kerber.
