Statisfaction: Serena Williams’ Win Streak Approaches Career Best
By Chris Oddo
(January 22, 2013) --
Serena Williams
will
attempt to match
her longest career winning streak on Wednesday in Melbourne when she meets 19-year-old
Sloane Stephens
in the
Australian Open quarterfinals
, but the 15-time Grand Slam champion still has a lot of work to do if she’s interested in adding the longest winning streak in WTA Tour history to her long list of career milestones.
Here is a list of the top ten winning streaks in WTA Tour history:
74
Martina Navratilova: 1984
55
Chris Evert: 1974
53
Navratilova: 1986
50
Navratilova: 1983
46
Steffi Graf: 1988
45
Steffi
Graf: 1987
44
Steffi
Graf: 1993
41
Navratilova: 1982
37
Martina Hingis: 1997
37
Navratilova: 1978
Serena, who tends to place her focus on winning big matches rather than winning all of her matches, has only had three unbeaten streaks of 20 or more matches in her career, but the current streak is her first plus-20 win streak since 2003.
Here are Serena’s six best unbeaten streaks, career:
21
Ended by Justine Henin in Charleston in 2003
21
Ended in Los Angeles by Chanda Rubin in 2002
20
Current streak in 2013
19
Ended in Cincinnati by Angelique Kerber in 2012
18
Ended at U.S. Open by Sam Stosur in 2011
18
Ended by Kim Clijsters at WTA Championships in 2002
