Venus has new book at Wimbledon

As Venus Williams prepares to play at Wimbledon, she's also dealing with another task -- pitching her new book.

"Come to Win: Business Leaders, Artists, Doctors, and other Visionaries on How Sports Can Help You Top Your Profession" will be released June 29.

Williams and co-author Kelly E. Carter collected thoughts from nearly 50 people about sports' importance in their lives. Contributors include former President Bill Clinton, fashion designer Vera Wang, Magic Johnson and Roger Staubach.

Asked if she came across a negative aspect of sports while putting together the book, Williams laughed and said: "Losing. No one likes losing."

She hasn't lost much at Wimbledon, which begins Monday. Williams has reached eight of the past 10 finals, winning five titles.
