Currently ranked No. 1 in the world, Serena Williams is the women’s singles champion of the century. Since first becoming world No. 1 in 2002, she has been champion of Wimbledon, the Australian Open, the French Open, the WTA Championships and Olympic women’s singles and doubles; it’s little wonder that she’s considered as the greatest female tennis player of all time.
