Four-time French Open champion, Justine Henin has questioned whether Serena Williams still has the drive and desire to claim a record equalling 24th Grand Slam title.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Henin said that for Williams, her priorities have changed so despite still being there at the sharp end of tournaments, it's got to play a factor.
"It's very hard to predict. I'm not really positive on that, I don't think it's a high percentage of chance that she can make it but as she's Serena Williams, I can't close the door and say she'll never make it because she is so special," said Henin.
"We have to keep in mind that she has been so consistent even after having a little girl. She didn't win a Grand Slam but she was still in the final of four Grand Slams."
"I think it's going to be really really hard. She's a mum now and emotionally she has changed. She had a lot of that fire, I think she still has it but is it the same as it was before."
