Intro:

Reaction from Serena Williams after singles and doubles victories at the US Open on Thursday (28th August).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Serena Williams
(On the elimination of Samantha Stosur and Ana Ivanovic):

"Well, you always hear about who is winning, who is losing. You hear about upsets. But for me, especially lately, I have to worry about my first round, my second round, and my third round. I can't get too far ahead of myself."

SOUNDBITE (English): Serena Williams:

"Well, like I said, I've had three tries to get to 18 (Grand Slam titles), and it hasn't happened, so... We'll see, you know. Hopefully I'll get there one day. I'm kind of stuck right now at 17, which to be honest is not a bad number to be stuck at. It's better than 16. I honestly am really proud of everything I've been able to accomplish in my career. I can't really be upset about anything."

SOUNDBITE (English): Serena Williams
(On switching from singles to doubles):

"It is hard sometimes to find the rhythm. But today I felt like we found the rhythm well. They played well. But I think in general we found it pretty good."
