These four players have a winning head-to-head record against Serena Williams

Serena Williams is perhaps the greatest player in the history of women's tennis. The American has excelled in both singles and doubles, winning a total of 125 titles.

In singles, Williams has won 23 Grand Slams, the most in the Open Era. Overall, only Margaret Court has won more Majors than her. She has a total of 16 Grand Slam doubles titles to her name.

For the majority of her career, Serena dominated the women's game at a time when she had to face some exceptional players. The American faced the likes of Venus Williams, Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova, Martina Hingis, and Lindsay Davenport, to name a few. She has a positive head-to-head record against each of them.
