Serena Aiming to Pass Chrissie, Martina on All-Time Slams List
NEW YORK — At 31 years old, Serena Williams is the oldest woman ever to be ranked No. 1 in the world.
And while that achievement is important, perhaps of more significance is that Williams is closing in on a couple of tennis legends on the all-time Majors list.
Williams owns 15 career Major singles titles and remains three behind Hall of Famers Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, who won 18 apiece.
“It’s very close but it’s extremely far away,” Williams said before beating world No. 2 Victoria Azarenka, 6-4, 6-3, Monday night in the BNP Paribas Showdown at Madison Square Garden.
