No rest for Serena Williams before Olympics

STANFORD, California, July 11 (AP/UNB) - Serena Williams has had little time to reflect on her first Grand Slam title in two years and even less time to sleep with a schedule she says is "probably the most hectic it has been in my career."

And it has only just begun.

Three days removed from winning Wimbledon and less than three weeks away from returning to London to go for Olympic gold, a jet-lagged Williams was back on the court Tuesday - more than 5,000 miles and eight time zones away from the All England Club - in the serene setting at Stanford.

"I don't know really where I am right now," she joked.

The 14-time Grand Slam singles champion left London a day earlier, watched "at least five movies" on the flight - "The Hunger Games" was her favorite - because she couldn't sleep and only rested a few hours before she showed up on Court 10 wearing a pink, long-sleeved shirt and black capris in front of about a dozen spectators.

Leaving the London drizzle for the Stanford sunshine wasn't the only reason Williams returned.
