Serena insists she's not one of the greats


Reference: Online news – Sports, 31/01/2010

Serena William had victory over over Justine Henin of Belgium in their women's final match on day 13 of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne. Serena beat Justine 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. This is her fifth Australian Open title. She is now six titles behind Americans Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova and seven behind Helen Wills Moody in the all-time Grand Slam stakes. Serena is now 28 years old. She did not think she is the best. She thinks she is normal. So far, she got 12 grand slams, 5 Australian titles, 1 French Open, 3 Wimbledons and 3 US Opens. She won both the singles and doubles titles with sister Venus in Melbourne. She said she does not want to slow down because she wants more successes. As long as she is happy she will do it. Sometimes she thinks the slam is too much for her. Her best time to win was last year. Her plan is to get ready for playing at Paris. She said she would be happy just to be the leading of the Grand Slam winners. She wants to be with Roger Federer because Roger is amazing. She wanted to be involved in charity and starting her own charity. In March she is going to open a second school in Kenya which she excited about it. She thinks if you are given a talent you should give back. That is why she gives back to children in Kenya.
