It is probably because she has won everything that she knows the bitter price of defeat. Again in September at the US Open, American Serena Williams lost the final which would have equaled Margaret Court and her 24 Grand Slam trophies. "Honestly it's so frustrating. I'm so close, so close, so close, and at the same time so far! What can I say, I have to keep going if I want to stay a professional tennis player ...", reacted the American. Serena Williams has now lost a 4th Grand Slam final in a row after Wimbledon and the 2018 US Open and again Wimbledon and the 2019 US Open, and remains at 23 major titles. Until 2020 where she will continue to skim tournaments at 38?
