"The first thing I thought when I was on my back on the court was I hope the score was not 5 to 2," Williams told Us Weeklyexclusively at the Women's Champion's Luncheon at JPMorgan Chase & Co. headquarters in NYC of her triumph. "That would be pretty embarrassing!"

It was a good run, unfortunately lost to a better player today! Congrats @serenawilliams on #18, well deserved!"
After the match, Wozniacki said to Williams, "You definitely owe drinks later," and the tennis great, who won her 18th Grand Slam title, followed through. The impressive athletes shared photos via Instagramof themselves out and about, having some post-game fun withJoe JonasandGigi Hadid.
Williams won't be celebrating for too long, however. The Olympian told Us Weekly that her schedule is hardly slowing down. "The tennis is over and now it's about my passion for fashion," she said.
