New Wimbledon champion Serena Williams is already thinking about winning her 12th Grand Slam singles title to draw level with her idol Billie Jean King.

The 27-year-old claimed her 11th major title on Saturday with a 7-6 (7/3) 6-2 victory over sister Venus in the Wimbledon final.

It was Serena's first Wimbledon crown since her double in 2002 and 2003 - when she beat Venus on both occasions - and continued her recent dominance of the slams as she made it three titles from the last four.

The world number two is certainly not resting on her laurels, though.

Reflecting on Grand Slam number 11, she said: "It's unbelievable. I just feel really good. I feel like now I'm just not even in a competition of how many I can win.

"It's just now I'm looking at the next goal of someone like Billie Jean King, who is completely my idol. To get to her level and have 12 would be even better."

Saturday's triumph put her seventh on the all-time list but Serena does not think about her position among the greats of the game.

"I'm really just playing for me, whether I'm the greatest or not," she continued.

"I can't even put myself in a sentence with the greatest, because I think of people like Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf and Billie Jean King. They were such great champions.

"To even be mentioned with those people is a real honour to me. I feel like I'm really young. I feel like I'm only thinking about my career and continued playing."

Serena's victory was the eighth time in 10 years a Williams has won the women's singles title, while 2006's final between Justine Henin and Amelie Mauresmo was the only one in that period not to feature one of the sisters.

Serena could be seen studying the honours board after coming off court, but the family's dominance, seemingly, was not enough.

"Actually, I felt like my name should have been there at least once more," she said. "At least I got in another one."

The American's Grand Slam-winning streak is reminiscent of her run in 2002 and 2003, when she won four in a row - the so-called 'Serena slam'.

Comparing the two periods, Serena said: "I feel like this run is great. I should have won the French Open, or at least I should have had a chance.

"But I'm really excited that I had an opportunity to win this tournament. Ten years ago I won my first Grand Slam and I'm still winning championships.

"I feel like I'm a little bit of a better player because I'm more experienced now and I know more what to do and I know how to play the tough moments.

"Competition I think is even better now. There's so many great players that are winning every week."

Serena even had time to win another Grand Slam title on Saturday, picking up her ninth women's doubles crown with Venus, and fourth at Wimbledon.

"It feels great to win the doubles," she said. "You can go home with two titles. There's nothing like winning a title with your sister. It's really a good feeling."

Venus was bidding to match King with a sixth Wimbledon singles title on Saturday, while she would have been the first woman to win three in a row since Steffi Graf from 1991-93.

Serena, though, believes Venus' place in history is already assured.

"She's won seven Grand Slams on her own, five being Wimbledon," added Serena. "She's a living legend right now."
