Serena: 'Olympic crowd are bananas'

Serena Williams has admitted that she loves the effect that the Olympics is having on the Wimbledon crowd at this summer's Games.

The All England Club has undergone a vibrant makeover for the tournament and the 14-time Grand Slam champion believes that it is having a positive impact on the crowd following her win over Serbian Jelena Jankovic on Saturday.

"It's definitely weird, it's definitely different and I have to say I love it," the 30-year-old told reporters. "It's usually so quiet here, so I didn't really expect this atmosphere. It's fun. It's bananas. I love it."

Williams will face Poland's Ursula Radwanska in the second round.
