Serena Williams is on her way to breaking the record for most Grand Slam titles for men or women, with her participation in the Australian Open next month – but the tennis professional seems to have literally lost some of her trophies.
Williams appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week to talk about the upcoming event and revealed that of his impressive 23 Grand Slam trophies, some may have been “taken”.

“I keep them in small places,” explained Williams. “My first Grand Slam, I actually left my dad’s house at the time and said, ‘Stay with him because I’m going to get another one,’ which was at the US Open. Of course, I got another one. My coach has a few in France and there are several in my home. I think one, two or three are missing or have been taken “.
She continued: “Honestly, I feel like I threw a party at home years ago and someone was a little too happy about it … but I always wonder, ‘wait, that’s where one of my Wimbledon trophies went. ? ‘ But, fortunately, I’m not attached. I’m not really attached to things. You know my saying is ‘you can’t take it when you leave’. “
Fortunately, the trophies issued to players after winning tournaments are just replicas of the real trophies.

Williams is just a Grand Slam victory to tie the record for 24 titles in the career of Australian Margaret Court, the most any player in tennis history. She will face some unusual challenges, including a long quarantine against which several players have spoken out.
For Williams, although the restrictions are heavy, the result is worth it.
“It’s super, super strict, but it’s really good … When we get here in Australia, everyone has to be quarantined in a room for 14 days and it’s insane and intense, but it’s super good because after that you can have a normal new as we used to be last year, this time in the United States. So they’re doing it right. ”
