1.Happy Birthday Serena Williams
The setting was the 2015 French Open final. Serena Williams was having a cold and shivering with fever. She did not take any medicine for the final. Why? Because she felt that she may be disqualified for failing a drugs test. She carried on with her body not helping her. But with sheer guts and determination, Serena Williams won the 2015 French Open in grand style to cement her greatness. (Image credit: Twitter)
2.Happy Birthday Serena Williams
The Indian Wells tournament is one of the most important tournaments in the Tennis Hard Court season. Serena Williams won in 2001 but in that tournament, her father was accused of match-fixing and there were racial slurs directed at her and her father. The racism that she received on that day forced he to skip the event for 17 years. In 2018, her boycott of the Indian Wells open finally ended and she participated in that event. When she came out on court, she got a standing ovation and by this reception, she was moved to tears. (Image credit: Twitter)

Serena Williams' greatness is enhanced by the fact that she has also done brilliantly in the Olympics. Of course, sports like football and tennis do not view the Olympics highly but people who participate in the games give it their all. Serena Williams is the only player in history to have three doubles gold medal in Sydney 2000, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. It was in the same London 2012 Olympics that she also secured the singles gold medal, thus completing the golden Grand Slam in both doubles and singles. (Image credit: Twitter)

Serena Williams created history in 2017 as she broke the all-time Open era record of 22 Grand Slams by winning the Australian Open title. This was her seventh Australian Open title and it took her Grand Slam tally to 23. Since then, she has been stuck on that number for three years and in the 2020 French Open, she will be looking to tie the record of 24 Grand Slam titles which is currently being held by Margaret Court.

5.Happy Birthday Serena Williams
However, winning the Australian Open 2017 and her 23rd Grand Slam was NOT the greatest achievement actually. She had won the Australian Open title when she was already nine weeks pregnant. Later on in the year, she would be blessed with a baby girl Olympia. Her strength and her character shone through on that day in Melbourne and it stamped her greatness in tennis history.
