Serena Williams continues to be the overwhelming favorite in every single match she plays, Serena is an astonishing 32-1 in 2015. That record includes her 19th Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open in January, and now her 20th, won Saturday at the French Open, where she defeated a game Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2, not an easy feat, her win comes even though Williams for the last few matches has been battling a flu and what she referred herself as a “choke” moment in the Open finals as she lost a two-break lead in the second set, failed to serve out the match at 6-5 in that set and was down 0-2 in the third.
With her triumph over Safarova, Williams joins just two other players who have won more than 20 Grand Slam titles by the name of Steffi Graf, with a total of 22 Grand Slam titles attributed to the German, the 22 mark has been regarded as the standard not only for women’s tennis but for the entire tennis sport, and Margaret Smith Court with 24 titles to her name. Another French Open title for Serena and she will hit the what is referred to as the Grand Slam of career Grand Slams, winning every major event at least four times despite clay being regarded as Williams weakest surface, she has brought a 69-4 run since 2011 when she turned a notable 30-years-old.
She seems unstoppable despite struggling throughout her rather infamous career only reaching single digit titles earned by age 27, Serena didn’t win a single Major in the year she turned 30, and at that point she was still nine Slams behind Graf whom retired from tennis not long after turning 30, Williams late-career authority is clearer than ever and nothing short of supernatural will stop her talent not anytime soon that is, even flu ridden she is unstoppable.
