Serena Jameka Williams is an American tennis player born September 26, 1981 in Saginaw, Michigan.
It has so far won 27 Grand Slam tournaments:
13 Singles (5 Australian Open, Roland Garros 1, 4 and 3 Wimbledon U.S. Open);
12 in women's doubles with her sister Venus Williams (4 Australian Open, Roland Garros 2, 4 Wimbledon and 2 U.S. Open);
2 in mixed doubles (1 and 1 U.S. Open Wimbledon).
She also won two Olympic gold medals in women's doubles with her older sister Venus.
These impressive results have made her one of the greatest players in history. Monica Seles said of Serena Williams in March 2010 that it had "the potential and attributes to be the best player of all time. She has a great service, good return, a fantastic movement and incredible power. If this is not enough, no player is as strong as it "[1].
Over two years in 2002-2003, she won all four Majors in a row, original performance since Steffi Graf nine years ago which enabled her to occupy the leading position in the WTA world for 57 consecutive weeks. Relatively more irregular from 2004 to 2007 due to injuries and lack of motivation, she found this place on two other occasions thereafter, in September 2008 and February 2009, the benefit each time a new success in Grand Slam (U.S. Open and the Australian Open).
Serena Williams is the younger sister of Venus Williams, also number one worldwide in 2001. Serena prevailed in thirteen of their twenty-three confrontations on the circuit since early 1998. The encounter between the final U.S. Open 2001 is the first Grand Slam final in the Open era to see two sisters. These are also the only players to have competed in four consecutive Grand Slam finals.
