Serena Performs Karaoke In NYC

NEW YORK (AP) -- Serena Williams replaced her tennis racket with a microphone at a karaoke event a week ahead of the U.S. Open.

The top-ranked athlete performed ``Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend'' on Wednesday night at Arena in New York City. She danced and swayed her hips in a mini dress as she sang the song in falsetto and attempted high notes.

Williams told the crowd before she began: ``I'm really nervous.''

She was joined by fellow tennis player Jack Sock, ``Orange Is the New Black'' stars Laverne Cox and Uzo Aduba, ``Glee'' actor Darren Criss and comedian Kathy Griffin at the event for Delta Airlines.

Williams is seeded No. 1 as she seeks her third straight U.S. Open title. She said winning is ``super important,'' but added that there's ``no pressure.''
