S. WILLIAMS/A. Morita
6-1 6-3

Q.  The 207 serve, two matches in a row, do you keep track of things like that?
SERENA WILLIAMS:  Definitely.  I went for it, but I wasn't going for it that hard.  Every time I go for it, to hit it really hard, it goes in the 190s.  When I hit the 207, I was like, Okay, the first one wasn't luck, maybe I can hit a 207.  So it was pretty cool.

Q.  Where do you put your doubles titles with Venus compared to your singles titles?
SERENA WILLIAMS:  They mean a lot to me.  They count at Grand Slams.  I'm really excited that I've been able to win so many doubles titles.  I mean, people that are winning a lot of singles titles, nowadays, in the past decade or two decades, usually don't win as many in doubles.  So I'm almost even with my singles and doubles.
I think it's really cool.  It shows that I'm a really all around player.

Q.  Did you see any of the Lance Armstrong program?
SERENA WILLIAMS:  I was glued to the TV.

Q.  What is your reaction to what you saw?
SERENA WILLIAMS:  Well, I think a lot of people have said a lot of things about how they feel.  I think as an athlete, as someone that works really, really hard since I was four or three, you know, I think it's a sad day for all athletes in general.
But I think overall it's even more disappointing for the people that were adversely affected through everything.  You can only just hope for the best for them.

Q.  To bring it back to Armstrong, did you know him or meet him?
SERENA WILLIAMS:  You know, the only thing I knew about him was that he dated Sheryl Crow.  I met him once very briefly, and that's it.
