It is difficult to climb the ladder to the top in any sport. However, maintaining that top level is even more difficult. But, the American tennis legend, Serena Williams, has done that throughout her illustrious career. She is the epitome of success as far as tennis is concerned. The younger Williams sister dominated the women’s tennis ever since she step her foot onto the big stage.
At the time when players like Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams, and Martina Hingis were competing with Serena, the 23-time Grand Slam champion overcame all odds to win some of the biggest laurels in the sport. She is regarded as one of the greatest players to have played tennis. Between the period 2007 to 2017, she won a Grand Slam title every year except in 2011, when she lost in the finals of the US Open. It just displays the level of consistency with which she dominated women’s tennis.
