WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Even at the age of 30, with two-year gap since her last Grand Slam title and a long list of recent health problems, Serena Williams is hoping she’s just getting started on something big.

Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title on Saturday — and 14th Grand Slam overall — to mark the culmination of an improbable comeback. With her health restored and her game back at its best, she’s not planning to stop anytime soon.

Williams says “it’s the beginning of a great phase. I feel amazing out there. This whole tournament I felt really great physically. So it’s definitely the beginning of something great. I hope it is.”

Williams beat Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.
