Serena Williams has reached yet another slam semifinal after edging an in-form Tsvetana Pironkova in 3 sets. The American sensation is completely focussed on winning her 24th slam so as to match Margaret Court’s record. In doing this, she has been achieving incredible results with mind-blowing statistics.
Serena has reached a slam semifinals every single year of her incredible and very long career with the exception of just 2 seasons (1998 and 2006). This is even more striking if you think that in the meantime, she had a daughter in 2017 with an extremely dangerous pregnancy when she risked he life.
Years when Serena Williams didn’t reach at least one Grand Slam semifinal:
– 1998 (first year playing Slams)
– 2006That’s it, that’s the list
