Wimbledon champion Serena Williams believes her own "fear and doubt" are the biggest obstacles to completing the calendar Grand Slam.
Williams claimed "I feel vulnerable every time I step out on court", despite sealing a second Serena Slam by hogging all four major titles at the same time.
The 33-year-old saw off Garbine Muguruza at the All England Club on Saturday for her 21st major triumph, and can complete her 2015 dominance of the big four tournaments by retaining her US Open title in September.
Williams revealed her soundtrack to success as Irene Cara's 1980s classic Flashdance... What A Feeling - the song she sings in her head to stay focused on court.
"You'd be surprised how I feel: I feel vulnerable every that time I step out on court," said Williams, now the oldest women's major winner in the Open era.
