During the trophy ceremony the star tennis player said, “Eleven years… I think it’s unbelievable. Now I have 16 Grand Slam titles. It’s difficult for me to speak because I’m so excited.”

According to The Associated Press, Williams is the oldest woman at age 31 to win a major title since Martina Navratilova took honors at Wimbledon in 1990 at age 33.
