Serena, who has defeated several top-rated stars in her career, recently opened up the way she used to punish herself after every loss. “One thing I did as a punishment when I was younger, if I lost a match, I would get a tape of the match and watch it. And it was like reliving the loss again,Serena said.

However, she also added that this practice allowed her to improve her game as well. “But in a way, it was always learning what I did wrong and watching and knowing all the mistakes I made and why I lost the match. And that’ll make you play better because, for me, it was nothing worse than reliving that lost moment,” Serena concluded.
