In an interview with TIME magazine, the 19-times grand slam singles champion said she had discovered the "true meaning of forgiveness" and would go for a third title in the Californian resort in March.
"It has been difficult for me to forget spending hours crying in the Indian Wells locker room after winning in 2001, driving back to Los Angeles feeling as if I had lost the biggest game ever -- not a mere tennis game but a bigger fight for equality," the 33-year-old Williams wrote.
