With four
Olympic gold medals, five Wimbledon championships, and 21 Grand Slam
singles titles under her belt, there's no disputing that Serena Williams
is one tough cookie on the tennis courts.
Serena Williams has won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles with her sister Venus Williams and the pair are unbeaten in Grand Slam tournament finals
Serena Williams has spent 253 weeks overall as the WTA ranked #1 as of August 10, 2015
21 Grand Slam Titles
Australian Open -2003,2005,2007,2009,2010,2015
French Open - 2002,2013,2015
Wimbledon - 2002,2003,2009,2010,2012,2015
US Open - 1999,2002,2008,2012,2013,2014
Serena Williams's total of 21 Grand Slam singles titles is third on the all-time list behind Margaret Court (24) and Steffi Graf (22)
But for all her victories,
the sportswoman still has to do battle with sexists who body-shame her
and hold her to different standards than the boys.
Last
month, a troll on Twitter suggested that Serena’s victory at this
year’s Wimbledon was due to her masculine figure, writing on the social
media site that she was 'built like a man'.
