"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LONDON -- Serena Williams was in no mood to chat on Saturday as she addressed the media for her mandatory pre-Wimbledon press conference. Peppered with a variety of questions about her mindset and preparation for the third major of the season, Williams kept her answers succinct and matter of fact.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here\u2019s how the first six exchanges in her press conference played out:\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. How much are you prepared for Wimbledon this year physically and mentally?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SERENA WILLIAMS&lt;/strong&gt;: I think both I\u2019m really prepared for and really excited to be here.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. How do you feel coming here after the French?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SW&lt;/strong&gt;: I feel good. I feel like every year is another year. I feel happy to be here.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. Can you tell us what you\u2019ve been doing since the French Open?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SW&lt;/strong&gt;: I\u2019ve been doing just a lot of training, just working out, trying to get ready for the next event, which so happened to be Wimbledon.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. When did you arrive here?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SW&lt;/strong&gt;: I got here on Sunday. So, yeah, almost a week.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. Were you practicing back in Florida before that?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SW&lt;/strong&gt;: Yes.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q&lt;/strong&gt;. With your father?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SW&lt;/strong&gt;: Yes.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can forgive the reporters in the room if the subject quickly moved&amp;nbsp;to the World Cup. Serena wasn\u2019t in much of a mood to discuss her tennis, her training or even her mood as the No. 1 player in the world and top seed, gunning to win her sixth Wimbledon crown. If she is able to break her Slam dry spell&amp;nbsp;and win the title -- she has yet to make a major quarterfinal this year -- she would move into a three-way tie for second place on the list of Open Era champions with 18 Slam singles titles, alongside&amp;nbsp;Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI feel good,\u201D Williams said, when asked whether her past success at the tournament helped ease her mind. \u201CWhen I came here, I just felt a sense of being home. I really like being here.\u201D Her words seemed to betray her mood, but she did offer one genuine moment of insight into her current psyche.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asked how long it took her to get over her shocking second round loss to Garbine Muguruza at the French Open, Serena paused. \u201CWho says&amp;nbsp;I was over it?\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams plays her first round match on Monday against Anna Tatishvili.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
