Venus Williams marked her record 90th Grand Slam appearance with a three-set victory over Mihaela Buzarnescu of Romania at Wimbledon on Tuesday and revealed the secret to her longevity: "I'm good at what I do". The 41-year-old American, who is a five-time champion at the All England Club, triumphed 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. Former world number one Williams first played Wimbledon in 1997 and is making her 23rd appearance at the tournament. Now at 111 in the world, she fired 10 aces and 33 winners to defeat her 160th-ranked opponent. "I'm good at what I do. You can't win them all," said Williams who also chalked up her 90th singles win at the tournament. "Life is about how you handle challenges. Each point is a challenge on the court. No one gives you anything. I like to think I handle my challenges well." Up next is Tunisian 21st seed Ons Jabeur who eased past Rebecca Peterson of Sweden 6-2, 6-1.
