Chris Evert speaks about Serena Williams' body
The 18-time Grand Slam winner feels confident about Australian Open chances. In a conference call for ESPN, Evert, who is working as a commentator in Melbourne, said Serena is fitter.
The American lost a lot of weight after becoming a mother, working hard at the gym: I think shes fresh. I think thats one thing. But everybody else is fresh, too. This year especially shes had, what, four months off since the Open.
I dont believe she played anything since the Open. She has had time off to get away. Now she can really get away from tennis. Before, she couldnt really get away. Now shes married, has a child, has a rich life. She can get away from it.
I think shes raring together. For Evert, Serenas main goals are Majors: Champions are greedy in the sense of they want to keep racking up the Grand Slams. She is in a position where she can break some records in the tennis world.
When you talk about shes had a couple of incidences at the US Open, I dont think it has to do what Grand Slam it is. It could be at any Grand Slam. Its basically sort of the umpire, the linesmen, Serena. As Patrick says, she does seem very relaxed.
The one thing I notice, she seems fitter than last year. The scary thought looking at the women, they have to be thinking at this point, Gosh, she was 60, 70% last year reaching two finals, and now she seems fitter, leaner, shes moving better.
Like I said before, shes fresher. We all know Serena is very dangerous when shes fit and when shes healthy. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
