….because some things don’t change.
The current World No. 1 made her professional tennis debut in 1995, aged only 14 – after having already played the sport for 11 years. The American tennis legend, regarded as one of the greatest the game has ever seen, was approaching her 18th birthday that year – and won not one but two Grand Slam titles in the lead-up to adulthood.
Serena Williams won the first of her 22 Grand Slam titles at the Championships in Wimbledon that year, and in 2015, with an absolutely stunning display of the prowess that first got her to top spot, returned to the Number 1 ranking.
Despite having missed a series of tournaments on the WTA circuit last year, Williams retained her No. 1 ranking – and continues to hold it to date.
And going into the French Open, it is still Serena Jameka Williams, who is reigning champion at the Stade de Roland-Garros and has won the title three times, who is the firm favourite to win the title yet again.
