Tennis Career Highlights
Serena Williams, USA Born : 1981 in Saginaw, Michigan. Serena is the younger of the Williams sisters and the more powerful. Her great intensity on court and the overpowering nature of her ground strokes  quickly raised her status to World No1. Winner of 13 Major titles. An injury layoff has produced less dominant form recently, however she returned unseeded to win the 2007 Australian Open title. The pattern of limited tournament play but an ability to focus on the Majors saw a 3rd US Open title gained in 2008 10 years after her first. She began 2009 with her 4th Australian Open and continued with her 3rd Wimbledon victory leading to the regaining of her Wold No1 spot at the end of the year. A 5th Australian Open heralded 2010 and a 4th Wimbledon.
