Serena Williams Hits Double Digits
By winning the 2009 Australian Open over Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3, Serena Williams collected her tenth Grand Slam title. Serena has now won the Australian Open four times, i.e. 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, and Wimbledon in 2002, 2003, the French Open in 2002 and the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008. Serena also captured the 2009 Australian Open Women’s Doubles title with sister, Venus. For Serena, who has now reached three consecutive
Grand Slam finals, the 2009 Australian Open title lifts her into the Number One spot on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings… again! As Serena continues her 2009 tennis season, she is marching more and more into the tennis record books. In fact, only three women in the Open era have won more Grand Slam singles titles than Serena, i.e. Margaret Court (24), Martina Navratilova (18) and Steffi Graf (22). At age 27, Serena has potentially several strong years ahead of her.
