Despite dominating the year by winning three Grand Slam titles in 2015, World No.1 Serena Williams believes she is playing better this year.

"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.
