The Latest: The Price of Success for Serena Williams

MELBOURNE, Australia — The Latest from the Australian Open on Friday (all times local):

1:55 p.m.

Serena Williams, who plays Angelique Kerber in the women's final at the Australian Open on Saturday, says the price of fame means she doesn't get out much, but she'll take that scenario as long as she's at the top of the women's game.

At her pre-championship news conference on Friday, Williams was asked whether it bothers her that she's forced to stay in her hotel or house and not be able to wander the streets of Melbourne as she attempts to win her seventh title here.
