Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Venus Williams(What does it mean to you, achieving 700 career wins?)

"Yes, 700 wins - it is nice to be part of history. Not a lot of people have done it. There have been people who have won a lot more matches too. But 'slow and steady wins the race'. Who knows - maybe there will be another 700 more... it felt great."

SOUNDBITE (English): Venus Williams(when you first started playing professionally, did you ever think you would be in a position to win so many matches and so many tournaments?)

"I dreamed big when I was growing up. And it is wonderful to be living my dream every single day. That includes the losses too, becuase you learn from them. And it is an honour to be playing this sport - I love it. And it is a thrill every single time I walk on the court."
