“But I’m super confident it’s going to be great. I’m feeling very confident, I think is a better word, and getting ready for hopefully the next two weeks.”

Williams opens against unseeded German Laura Siegemund.

“She mixes up the pace a lot. It will be a really good match for me to get in there early and play my best,” she added.
