There’s a reason they call her the Greatest Of All Time.
During Serena Williams‘ post-game interview following her U.S. Open win against Estonian tennis player, Anett Kontaveit, Wednesday night, she was asked if she was surprised with herself with her “level” of play at the moment.

Williams simply smirked and chuckled, prompting the reporter to realize that she may have already known the answer to that question.
“No, I know,” the reporter replied
“I mean, I’m just Serena, you know,” the tennis great said.
Not that it’s breaking news, but Williams is a pretty great player. The 23-time Grand Slam winner gave herself a pat on the back after her win Wednesday, telling the reporter, “Well, I’m a pretty good player.”
“This is what I do best,” she continued, challenging those that see her U.S. Open winning streak as a surprise. “I love a challenge. I love rising to the challenge. Yeah, I haven’t played many matches, but I’ve been practicing really well.”

“My last few matches it just wasn’t coming together,” she shared. “I’m like, ‘But this isn’t me.’ And the last couple matches, here, in New York, it’s really come together.”
“Maybe I should’ve traveled with you all,” Williams quipped, which prompted a roar of applause from the adoring audience.
