Serena-US-Open-2013-jpg

 

Serena Williams is undeniably the best woman’s tennis player in the game today. She’s consistently defeated the odds and minor ailments to show others what determination is all about.

 

Over the weekend, Serena Williams, won her fifth U.S. Open title. America’s golden child, although frustrated at times, ended with the win and her 17th Grand Slam title. “Vika’s such a great opponent, she’s such a great fighter,” Williams, after jumping for joy seven times in celebration, said in her on-court interview next to Azarenka, who cried after losing her second straight U.S. Open final to Williams in three sets. “It was never over until match point.”

 

Williams is the only female (and richest female tennis player) to earn close to $10 million in one season. This win earned her $3.6 million and has pushed her total career earnings to $50 million.

 

Congrats to Serena!!
