Serena Makes Time To Tweet

SERENA Williams says tweeting helps her connect with her fans and keep tabs on her favorite rock band.

"I follow Green Day on Twitter, and whenever they tweet, I get incredibly excited," Williams said after winning her first-round match on Monday at the French Open. "I'm like, 'Oh, my God.' I'm so happy. I really like to know what's going on in their lives."

Williams' Twitter feed was quiet in the hours before and after her first-round victory over Stefanie Voegele, but she often tweets several times a day.

One sample dispatch on Saturday: "I am shooting Harpers Bazaar spread in Paris... Does it get any better than this????? XxxS"

Williams said she enjoys seeing the reaction to her tweets and keeps up with current events on Twitter.

"Sometimes I just tweet what's on my mind and sometimes maybe a little too much," she said. "For those people that like me half as much as I like them, I like to keep them in the loop with my life."
