Roland Garros: Serena Williams Interview - Semifinal
After 6-0, 6-1 semi-final win over Italian Sara Errani.
Q. You have mentioned a couple of great Grand Slam performances in the past, but you had 40 winners of your 52 points. That’s got to be right up there with one of your best, no?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Definitely. Those stats are really good, I think, and very consistent. So, yeah.
