With a total of 23 Grand Slam singles titles,
Serena Williams is looking to claim a record 24th next month at the 2021
Australian Open. However, the American has admitted that she has lost track of a few of her prestigious trophies.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week, the 39-year old revealed that some of her Grand Slam trophies might have been 'taken'.
"I keep them at little places," Williams explained. "My first Grand Slam, I actually left at my dad’s house at the time and said ‘You keep it because I am going to get another one’, that was at the US Open. Of course, I was able to get another one. My coach has a few in France and there are several in my house. I think one or two or three are missing or have been taken."
Fortunately, the trophies issued to tournament champions are just replicas of the actual trophy, although this doesn't lessen their value.
"Honestly, I feel like I had a house party years ago and someone got a little too happy at it." Williams added. "But I always wonder, ‘wait, is that where one of my Wimbledon trophies went?’ But fortunately enough I’m not attached. I’m not really attached to things. You know my saying is ‘you can’t take it with you when you leave.’"
