Not enough can be said about the " Queen of the Court' as she has been tagged by the media. The recent champion of the just concluded French open, Serena Williams is the greatest female athlete of all time.
Her record of 35 Grand Slam titles puts her seventh on the all-time list: 20 in singles, 13 in women's doubles, and two in mixed doubles. She is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously (2002–03), and the fifth woman ever to do so. She is also the most recent player together with her sister Venus Williams to have held all four Grand Slam women's doubles titles simultaneously (2009–10). Her total of 20 Grand Slam singles titles is third on the all-time list behind Margaret Court (24) and Steffi Graff (22 titles), and second in the Open Era, behind only Graf. She has won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles with her sister Venus and the pair are unbeaten in Grand Slam finals. Williams is also a five-time winner of the WTA Tour Championships.
Serena has come back from criticism, tragedy (her sister Yetunde was killed), injuries among other things, and she has proven time after time that she is a Champion!
