Serena Williams frolicked inside Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne. Not because she had equaled the stadium's eponymous figure's 24-major mark, which isn't so much even a discussion item anymore.
This appeared to be solely because she's feeling free and light-minded these days. She's glad to be playing ball at age 38, still the queen of the WTA and a Top 10 fixture. And so, obviously ready to take full flight in her opening match and the event overall, she fluttered around the backcourt. Feathery. Racquet-less.
