I can't believe I'm out of the tournament. There's no one, beside Venus, who would beat me,

There's no one beside Venus who would beat me in these championships,

No one gets me more motivated than Venus because I don't want her to catch up with me yet. She's at five (Grand Slam tournament titles) now. I still have seven. So I got to keep ahead.

I said (to Venus) you played terrible,

She's playing unbelievable, so I'm going to have to pick it up. Venus has been working hard for quite some time to turn this thing up. She's always in the gym, running miles, always practicing. . . . It was just a matter of timing.

I don't think there's anyone besides Venus that could have beaten me at this championship, ... Honestly, I'm playing better than I had in Australia.
