The American, who once topped the tennis rankings, won Wimbledon five times and the prestigious U.S. Open twice, had to rebuild her career after succumbing to injuries and a debilitating auto-immune disease.
However, the 33-year-old has insisted that those rocky moments provided a powerful motivation.
"I have to say I feel more confident on the court than I have in my life," Williams told CNN's Open Court ahead of the Miami Open which starts Wednesday.
"I think it's because I have really been to the bottom, so once you get that far down and you get back up, you realize you really have nothing to lose. "
Since 2008, when she won her seventh Wimbledon grand slam, Venus grabbed her 45th WTA title at Dubai last month.
