- Serena Williams has so many Grand Slam trophies that she doesn't know where they all are, and thinks one might even have been stolen at a house party she hosted.
- Williams, who has 23 Grand Slam titles, made the admission while speaking on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.

Serena Williams has so many Grand Slam trophies that she doesn't know where they all are, and thinks one of them might even have been stolen at a house party she once hosted.
Williams, who has 23 Grand Slam titles, made the astonishing admission while speaking on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.
"I keep them at little places," Williams explained when asked by Colbert where she stores her numerous pieces of silverware.
"My first Grand Slam, I actually left at my dad's house at the time and said 'You keep it because I am going to get another one'. That was at the US Open. Of course, I was able to get another one.
"My coach has a few in France and there are several in my house. I think one or two or three are missing or have been taken."
She continued: "Honestly, I feel like I had a house party years ago and someone got a little too happy at it. But I always wonder: 'Wait, is that where one of my Wimbledon trophies went?'
"But fortunately enough I'm not attached. I'm not really attached to things."
Thankfully, Williams added that the trophies issued to players after they win Grand Slams are only replicas of the actual trophies.
"You don't get to keep it at all, they give you a replica," she said. "So when I first started playing, they gave you a really small replica and now they give you a bigger replica.
"I'm like: 'Can I trade in my small replicas for the bigger ones?'"
Williams will be hoping to add her 24th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open next month. Ahead of the tournament, which kicks off on February 8, Williams has been quarantining with her family at a hotel in Adelaide.
Speaking on life in lockdown, she told Colbert: "It's super super strict, but it's really good."
