US Open Champion Serena Williams has said that it is an honour to be even with Swiss player Roger Federer after she got her 17th Grand Slam title, as many as the seven-time Wimbledon Champion has in his collection.

Serena said that she had never felt better, and is excited about the possibilities of winning more Grand Slams.
She said that winning a Grand Slam being older was a great honour because she didn't know if she could win more.
