Tennis champion Serena Williams is back in action at the U.S. Open.

Williams took to the court inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night, where she earned her 306th career win at Grand Slam. Despite the victory, the superstar athlete was critical of her performance.

“I feel like I made a lot of errors,” she told USA Today. “What really matters is I got the win. Hopefully I’ll just get better.”

Sister Venus Williams, who also emerged victorious at the Arthur Ashe Stadium earlier in the week, is the only player to have made more Open appearances than her younger sibling, with this year marking her 18th time at the games.

The youngest Williams champ will see her next match this Saturday, bringing her one step closer to winning her 23rd career Grand Slam, which would put her atop the list of the most major titles ever won in the history of the Open.
