Serena Williams
is a win away from her second "Serena Slam" having won the 2002 French
Open, 2002 Wimbledon, 2002 US Open and 2003 Australian Open. With the
2014 US Open, 2015 Australian Open and the French Open already under her
belt, she's a win away from a second "Serena Slam".
At 33 years and 289 days Serena Williams is trying to become the oldest Grand Slam champion in the Open
Era and beat the record of Martina Navratilova, who
won Wimbledon in 1990 at the age of 33 and 263 days
Serena Williams is also going for her 21st Grand Slam title -- one shy of the Open Era record held by Steffi Graf.
