If Serena Williams is feeling any extra pressure or added expectation to defend her Wimbledon title, the top seed didn’t reveal it on the eve of the third major of the year.

“Yeah, honestly, I don't feel any pressure. I feel good and confident,” Williams said when asked if she feels pressure during a pre-event press conference.

Last year’s Wimbledon title was the last Williams has won in the last 12 months since aiming for the calendar Grand Slam in 2015. This season, Williams has been a runner-up at both the Australian Open and French Open. But those losses in both finals were learning experiences for the current World No.1.

“Well, I think it's important to learn from every loss that you have. I think in particular I usually do throughout my whole career have been able to, like, learn a lot, to come off, to come back a much better player.”

While the top seed admits she practiced mostly on hard courts before coming back to the All-England Club, Williams does feel playing on grass at Wimbledon is a special opportunity that suits her game.

“I enjoy it just being on grass. It's usually the only tournament I play on grass. It's a unique experience. You know, it's just that one time a year you just get to get on this amazing, beautiful surface. It feels really good.”

Williams, who goes in search of her seventh Wimbledon singles title, is also competing in the ladies’ doubles with her sister, Venus Williams.

While another Wimbledon title for the sisters would be great, their main focus is on the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio as they try to get in extra practice as a team.

“Well, we haven't practiced in a while. We've been practicing a little bit this year, a lot because we haven't been on our best doubles game, so we need to practice to get better,” Williams said. “Whenever I hit a return out in singles, I'm like, It counts for doubles, so it works out (smiling).”

Williams said watching her sister win the 2005 singles title over Lindsay Davenport is perhaps her favorite memory of watching her sister play on court.

“I think it was really an incredible match. I think she was down a match point or two. It was an insane match. It was three sets. It was a really, really good match. I just remember her being very happy, but very confident. I was more happy that she won. When someone you love wins, you are just so happy for them.”

Serena Williams is scheduled to play her opening round match against qualifier Amra Sadikova on Tuesday.
