Serena Williams is "not obsessed" with equalling the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles but still wants to win, says her coach Patrick Mouratoglou.
Williams' last major came at Melbourne Park while she was pregnant in 2017.
"Does she need that validation? I don't think she needs that validation," said Mouratoglou about chasing a 24th title.
Australian Court set a record that straddled the amateur and Open eras, with 13 of her victories coming in the pre-professional age before 1968.
Williams, whose daughter Olympia is now three years old, has lost four finals since her last victory in a Grand Slam, including against Halep at Wimbledon in 2019.
