Serena Williams definitely doesn’t want to talk about the No. 23. Newly engaged Williams brushed off concerns about the 88 unforced errors she had in a loss in New Zealand last week in her only warmup tournament ahead of the Australian Open, which starts Monday and where she’s aiming for Open-era record 23rd major title. Williams responded to questions about milestone achievements last year when she had 21 Grand Slam titles, and it didn’t help – she lost the final here to Angelique Kerber and to Garbine Muguruza at the French Open before winning Wimbledon to equal Steffi Graf’s Open era mark of 22.
