NEW YORK—On a gray, gloomy day in Manhattan, Serena Williams was swaddled in bath towels to stay warm in an air-conditioned corner suite on the 41st floor of the Lotte New York Palace Hotel. As much a part of my life as it is, I become a different person when I play tennis. “I feel like I set my expectations incredibly high, and I feel like after Miami I wanted to get more, not realistic expectations, but more reasonable expectations for me,” Serena Williams said. “And so I took some time off and then started training like a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot.”Williams’s eyes darted back and forth with each “lot” as if she were watching a long baseline rally. “Apparently 10 per cent of women get it,” Serena Williams said.
