Serena Williams Is In Dubai Hoping To Make Amends and Win

Serena Williams is back in Dubai a year after pulling out at the last possible moment from the hardcourt event. And the world No. 1 says that she hopes to make amends for that embarrassment by working to win the title at this edition for the first time. “I really wanted to play here after pulling out in 2013,” said Williams, a 2005 and 2009 semi-finalist who lost in the Australian Open due to back pain which has kept her from the court until this week. “My goal is to lift the trophy, but we will see how my back feels.”

 

Williams only made a late entry as a welcome wild card. “I get bored training, I’d much rather play a match,” said the 17-time grand slam champion. “My back feels better than it did in Australia, I still have to take it a day at a time. I’ll do my best this week, but my goal is to lift the trophy. I always set higher goals, I always want to improve.”

 

The No. 1 insists that she can put no timetable on her career: “Age is not catching up to me. This generation is playing longer, I think racquet and fitness technology have something to do with it. We know what we have to do in the gym.

 

“There’s no more playing tennis and then going to the bar like several decades ago, The sport now is more of a lifestyle. For me, I just cannot say how long I will play. I’m still setting new goals.”
