Serena Williams is one of the most dominant players the sport has ever seen, but she wants to be even more dominant.

The American said Saturday after her third-round win over Kristina Mladenovic that she will work on ending matches quicker.

"It was definitely a challenge for me, obviously," Williams said. "I think by the score line, you know, and by the match, and barely getting through that, I had opportunities to end it a lot sooner and I didn't, but that's also something that I can try to do, you know, going forward."

Williams needed five match points to secure victory, eventually prevailing 12-10 in a second set tiebreak.

Still, Williams hasn't dropped a set at Roland Garros and will be extremely difficult to oust no matter how long her matches take.
