Grand Slams over 30

Serena has won twice as many Grand Slams in her 30s as anyone in the Open Era. Serena has won six Grand Slam titles as a 30-something - Wimbledon and the US Open in 2012, the Roland Garros and US Open in 2013, the US Open in 2014 and the Australian Open in 2015. The players with the next-most Grand Slam titles in their 30s are Margaret Court and Martina Navratilova with three.

Victory in 11 straight finals

Since losing to Victoria Azarenka in a third-set tiebreaker in the Cincinnati final in 2013, Williams is a perfect 11-0 in WTA finals. The streak includes three straight wins in major finals.

Simply Better than the Rest

Serena has almost as many Grand Slam titles as all other active players combined. Williams' 19 Grand Slam titles comes in just under 21, which is the combined total of all other active players. Venus Williams has seven, Maria Sharapova five, Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitova and Svetlana Kuznetsova two each, while Ana Ivanovic, Samantha Stosur and Francesca Schiavone have one each.

2nd Best Winning Percentage in Grand Slam Finals

Williams owns a mighty impressive 19-4 record in Grand Slam finals. Only Margaret Court’s Grand Slam final winning percentage is better, at .827 (24-5). Steffi Graf was 22-9. Remarkably, of the 26 times SW has reached the semis of a major, she’s come away with 19 titles.

Five or more at three majors

Williams has won five or more titles at three different majors; Steffi Graf is the only other player to have achieved that feat in the Open Era.

100 career top five wins

Williams now boasts a 100-32 career win against top five competition.

Three US-Aussie Doubles

Williams joins Graf as the only player to have won the US Open and the Australian Open back-to-back three times. Williams achieved the feat in 2002, 2009 and 2015. Graf did it in ’89, ’90 and ’94.

Winning nearly one of three majors contested

Of the 58 Grand Slams she has played in, Williams has won a remarkable 19. That is nearly one of every three Grand Slams contested.

Most Grand Slam victories next?

Williams now owns 266 Grand Slam singles victories, which puts her just 40 behind Martina Navratilova for most all-time, Open Era. With Williams confident she’ll play to the ’16 Rio Olympics and beyond, it looks like this milestone is well within reach.

Hard Court maven

Williams’ 12 hard-court Grand Slam titles are three more than any other player. Steffi Graf won 9; next on the list is Monica Seles with 6.

No. 1 and still not done

In her 226th week as No. 1 in the world, Williams will pass Chris Evert (260) by the end of 2015 and move into third on the WTA’s all-time list if she can run the table this season.

19 majors and counting

Williams ties Helen Wills Moody on the all-time Grand Slam list with No. 19. There are only two to catch now: Steffi Graf, who is the all-time Open Era major title leader with 22, and Margaret Court, who is the all-time leader with 24 major tiles (12 which came in the Open Era).
