Serena Williams says that while tennis is her forte,she has a passion for many other things. “I can do it all. I cook,I clean,I write,I make jokes,I tape,” she smiled,referring to taping an ankle during her match on Monday. “I just pretty much do everything.”

Williams,who has reached the quarter-finals at the year’s first Grand Slam,said she pursued other interests in order to broaden her horizons. “I can’t hit a ball in a box for the rest of my life,” she said.

Williams already designs a clothing line and said she also plays a baby-blue Gibson Stratocaster guitar — favouring “power-chord punk rock” like Green Day. “I’ve always tried to do other things that I really enjoy,that I have a passion for,” she said. “For me that makes me enjoy tennis more because I’m really,really good at tennis.

“Maybe I’m not so good at designing and drawing. I try to be as good as I can at it but it makes me appreciate my tennis game a little bit more.”
