NEW YORK (Reuters) - Seven-times grand slam winner Venus Williams, fresh off an inspirational run to the Australian Open finals at age 36, sees no end in sight on the tennis court, even envisioning another Olympics alongside her sister Serena.

The American former world number one's on-court form has been nothing short of remarkable considering she was diagnosed in 2011 with the debilitating Sjogren's syndrome, but Williams said that will not bring an end to her career.
